MADRID (AP) — The NFL's last international game of the season will be played Sunday at Real Madrid's iconic Santiago Bernabeu stadium, a venue that hosted a World Cup final more than four decades ago and most recently welcomed Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. The stadium that sits at the heart of the Spanish capital will host the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Commanders in the NFL's first regular-season game in Spain, and the last of seven the league has played abroad this season — the most ever as it continues to expand globally. The game will be one of the main events at the stadium since it underwent a renovation that will ultimately cost nearly $2 billion dollars.
