Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, analyzed the Madrid victory on Movistar and TVE: “Calm down and be happy, we have all worked all season to be able to reach a situation like the one we have, which is very cheerful”
The season: “This year we have had a good season in general, a good competition, we have been lucky in that. We faced all the powerful teams and we have been overcoming them one after another. It is a very deserved Champions League, by all the players, from the coach and from the fans. These players are infected by the fans and we have seen some games that we will not easily forget.”
Courtois stops: “With all of them, the one he did with his foot against City. He’s had a spectacular season, he’s the best goalkeeper in the world and that’s why we brought him in, he’s very much a Real Madrid fan, Ancelotti is right when he says that the difference between Madrid and the others is that the Madrid players are madridistas. I remember how the veterans in the match against City were already off the field and encouraged the youngsters. Madrid is a way of understanding life, with its values, with its troubles sometimes, but as here it is not a club that we share benefits because there are none, we are a club of members, that communion has its importance”
Ancelotti: “It will have something to do with it because if he has won four he will have something, he is a good conductor who knows the psychology of the players, he knows Real Madrid very well and he knows football very well”.
Squad: “We have very good players, Karim, Vinicius, Rodrygo… the average is very good, the defense is well and the goalkeeper is well too”
Mbappé: “Madrid will always continue to work on having the best players, but Mbappé is already forgotten, nothing has happened, Madrid has had a perfect season and it is a forgotten issue. Today there is no Mbappé, there is the party of Real Madrid”.
Against state clubs: “They have the largest budgets and that is why they have the best players. They have been highly valued by all, the difference with some clubs is that Madrid does not distribute a dividend, what we distribute is the way of understanding football , the values: sacrifice, communion with the fans, all inherited from Don Santiago Bernabéu, and I have tried to live up to the circumstances”
