Breaking the routine of the construction, a Spanish Civil War howitzer was found in the vicinity of the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid's new home from the 2017/18 season.

An operator warned of the existence of the bomb located between the stadium enclosure and Avenida Luis Aragones.

The Police were immediately on the scene but it was detonated without the need to stop working, aside from the immediate area around where the discovery occurred.

About 50 centimetres in size, the howitzer was buried four metres deep, and once the 'danger' had passed, normality quickly returned to the site.
