A strange situation happened today when there were 3 minutes left in the match, the referee called the players to leave the field and the fans also started to leave the stadium, apparently it was because of a bomb threat, someone sent a letter to a local paper that a bomb will explode at 9:00p.m (local time), but until now nothing has happened.
In the news it's said that the players and fans are on the street right now.

Spanish stadium evacuated after bomb scare
ABC Online
More than 70,000 people have been evacuated from Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium after a bomb scare.
The alert came after an anonymous caller to the Basque newspaper Gara claimed a bomb had been planted in the stadium, which was hosting a game between Real Madrid and Basque side Real Sociedad.
The caller told the paper the bomb would explode at 9:00pm local time.
Police informed the referee just a minute before the game was due to finish with the score at 1-1. The players returned to their locker rooms and spectators were allowed to exit by the pitch.
The stands were cleared at 8:50pm.
Earlier, two makeshift bombs exploded outside two businesses in Spain's Basque country, injuring no-one but causing material damage.
Regional authorities blamed the explosions on the armed Basque separatist movement ETA, which has claimed responsibility for a string of low-intensity blasts around Spain that left five people slightly injured earlier this month.
