[edit] Trivia
In the computer game series 'Pro Evolution Soccer', in the earlier versions of the game, the football team Real Madrid C.F. is referred to as 'Chamartín', as to avoid any legal implications for the game's makers Konami. Usually, Real Madrid is called "El Equipo de Chamartín" ("the team from Chamartín"), because Santiago Bernabéu Stadium it's located on Chamartín District. This is corrected in later versions of the game, where the developers pay for the rights to use Real Madrid's name.
