Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is using his free time in Madrid to explore the city’s art scene ahead of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. The Pro Bowler and two-time MVP finalist visited the Museo del Prado during the team’s first off day and plans to see more museums, art galleries, and go shopping. Burrow, known for his off-field interests, also enjoys playing piano, building Legos, and chess.
He noted being recognized by U.S. students studying abroad, saying he often expects to go incognito but finds his fame extends beyond football. The Bengals (5-2) are preparing for the Falcons (3-5) at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, home of Real Madrid. Former Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois and ex-Atletico Madrid star Koke were among those who visited the team’s training grounds, located about 20 miles northwest of downtown Madrid.
Burrow expressed his love for international soccer and video games featuring Real Madrid and Barcelona teams.
