Same last time in Spain. Not taking any chances, have filled in details requested, only takes a minute. Also Brexit may mean they need to know who is coming to their country?

If anyone wants to get away from whatever they charge in the Sol/Plaza Mayor areas/Pickpockets/Coked up police I'd recommend the Malasaña area for beers and food and a good afternoons drinking. Far better than the tourist traps imho.
1. Map here shows it's an easy and straight walk up from Sol on mostly pedestrian streets.
2. Once in the Malasaña area Ive put in my local for the Irish pub (Triskel Tavern) on San Vicente Ferrer Street, good range of beers at 3.50 euros and Spanish/English scran, nearest to a proper pub I've ever found abroad.
3. Big recommendation for good seafood and steaks and at amazing prices is Ribeira do Miño on Calle Santa Brigida on the walk up. You won't be disappointed believe me.

4.Another 5 minutes you are in the Plaza dos de Mayo with terrace bars, and loads of food places to chill for the afternoon.
5. From there get to the match five minute further on to the direct metro line at Alonso Martinez station.
The whole journey in one would take 30 minutes walking so no wasting time.

Genuinely recommend for a different view of the city away from the police and tourist bollocks.
Especially recommend for anyone around at the weekend. Its a lively part of town with plenty on offer.

As always there's a risk of pickpockets so watch your stuff but there's no comparison with the rest of the city for me.
Any queries just ask. (Not tickets though sadly though I would keep checking the RM site as they have season ticket return system like we do so tickets may get added).
Enjoy Blues
