Another heated debate has erupted around Real Madrid: the club’s fans were recorded calling on president Florentino Perez to step down. The demands became widespread during the Spanish La Liga Round 20 match against Levante.
Reports say chants of “Florentino, resign!” rang out from the Bernabeu stands, with slogans and banners carrying the same message. The Athletic journalist Mario Cortegana reported this.
Florentino Perez is considered one of the most talked-about leaders in Real Madrid’s history. He first served as club president from 2000 to 2006, then returned to the top job in 2009 after a short break. Since then he has led the “Royal Club,” and many major decisions in the club’s life are associated with his tenure.
That is why any mass reaction from supporters carries special weight within the club environment. Especially when such calls are heard in the stadium during a match—it is seen not as ordinary noise, but as a “signal.”
The key question now is whether this was a one-off emotional outburst or the start of a shift in mood among Real Madrid fans. Either way, Real means big pressure, big demands, and strict discipline. Whatever decisions are made, the next games and results will either soften this backdrop or intensify it.
