LOCKERS used by the likes of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid are being auctioned off this month.
The lockers were used by the Spanish giants between 2002 and 2022, but were removed during the Santiago Bernabeu’s staggering renovations which took the iconic stadium’s capacity to 85,000.

ReutersA total of 24 lockers went on display at Sotheby’s in London yesterday.
Bidding will remain open until November 26, with prices starting at £10,000 each.
In addition to Beckham and Ronaldo, the likes of Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric‘s lockers are also available.
While fans of the Galacticos era could also bid for lockers previously belonging to Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo.
A slice of the revenue generated will go Real Madrid’s charitable foundation.
Sotheby’s are collaborating with Pursuit 3 Marketing Group on the auction.

There is now a retractable roof on the stadium, as well as a newly designed outside facade.
Real Madrid have also built a plush new VIP “Sky Bar” – a stunning 700-metres-squared space designed by Room 1804.
Tickets for the exclusive bar are said to cost up to £2,500 per match, but so far it has not opened its doors.
According to El Confidencial, Anastasia Gourmet have slapped the 15-time European kings with a lawsuit worth £13.8m for being unable to use the space.
Of that whopping sum, approximately £6m is said to correspond to suppliers, Mundo Deportivo add.
The reports claim Anastasia Gourmet have been blocked from accessing their new premises – prompting the huge loss of expected earnings.
