Teh Santiago Bernabéu will once again be dressed up for the occasion this Tuesday, January 20, 2026, to host a duel with the aroma of great European nights: Real Madrid and Monaco will face each other in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26. The match will pit two teams with different presents, but united by the same objective of taking a decisive step towards the round of 16. The Madrid team will bet on it’s strength as a local and the weight of its cup tradition, while the Principality team will try to impose its bold proposal to pull off the coup in Spanish territory.
The white team arrives with their spirits boosted after beating 2-0 to Levante in LaLiga, a result that helped to leave behind the stumble suffered in their previous continental appointment, when they fell 1-2 against Manchester City at the bernabéu itself. Álvaro Arbeloa, backed by a hierarchical squad, is confident that the Champions League will once again be the ideal scenario to relaunch the team and consolidate its candidacy for the title.on the opposite side, Monaco arrives with some doubts after losing 1-3 against Lorient in the French league, although in Europe they come from celebrating a valuable 1-0 against Galatasaray, a victory that keeps them in full fight for classification.
This clash also invites us to look to the past: the last time both crossed paths was in the quarterfinals of the Champions League 2003/04, a tie that remained engraved in memory. Madrid won 4-2 in the first leg played in Spain,but the Monegasque team staged a historic comeback with a 3-1 in the second leg,boosted by the double of Ludovic Giuly and the goal of Fernando Morientes,former white striker,while Raúl scored for the Madrid team. More than twenty years later, the paths meet again with renewed protagonists and the same illusion of signing another memorable page in the top European tournament.

Boeing 737 MAX Grounding and Recertification
The Boeing 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March 2019 following two fatal crashes, and while it has since been recertified and returned to service, scrutiny and investigations continue as of January 20, 2026.
The Initial Grounding (2019-2020)
The grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX began on March 13, 2019, after the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019, which killed all 157 people on board. This followed the crash of Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29,2018,which killed 189 people. Both crashes were linked to a faulty maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
MCAS was designed to automatically push the nose of the aircraft down if it detected a stall, but it relied on input from a single angle of attack (AOA) sensor. In both crashes, a faulty AOA sensor triggered MCAS, and pilots were unable to regain control of the aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a worldwide grounding order on March 13, 2019, citing new information about the crashes. FAA Grounding Order
Example: The FAA’s grounding order specifically cited the similarities between the two crashes and the potential for a systemic flaw in the MCAS system.
Recertification and Return to Service (2020-2021)
Boeing worked to address the issues with MCAS, developing software updates and providing revised pilot training. The FAA conducted a comprehensive review of the 737 MAX, including simulator evaluations and software analysis. On November 18,2020,the FAA lifted the grounding order,allowing airlines to resume flying the 737 MAX once they met specific requirements. FAA Ungrounds 737 MAX
The recertification process included several key changes: MCAS was redesigned to use input from two AOA sensors, and pilots received enhanced training on MCAS and related flight procedures. Airlines were also required to implement maintenance bulletins and conduct inspections of the aircraft.
Evidence: The FAA’s Airworthiness directive 2020-24-02 outlined the required software updates and pilot training for the 737 MAX. FAA Airworthiness Directive 2020-24-02
Ongoing Investigations and Scrutiny (2021-2026)
Despite the return to service, investigations and scrutiny of Boeing and the FAA continued. The Department of justice (DOJ) conducted a criminal examination into the development and certification of the 737 MAX. On january 7, 2021, Boeing agreed to pay over $2.5 billion to settle the DOJ’s investigation. DOJ Boeing Settlement
The settlement included a fine, compensation for the families of the victims, and an agreement to establish a $500 million fund for airlines and other parties affected by the grounding. Congressional investigations also revealed shortcomings in the FAA’s oversight of boeing.
Recent Developments (as of January 20, 2026): As of january 20, 2026, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) continues to investigate aspects of the 737 MAX crashes and the certification process. NTSB preliminary Report (Lion Air 610) While the 737 MAX is flying, increased oversight from both the FAA and autonomous safety experts remains in place. There have been no further fatal crashes involving the 737 MAX since the recertification, but concerns about Boeing’s safety culture and quality control persist. A recent report by a panel of experts commissioned by the FAA in late 2025 recommended further improvements to Boeing’s safety management system.
