Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has responded to the growing criticism surrounding the team. He emphasized that the 'Royal Club' is not required to win the Champions League every year and that it is incorrect to accept such a demand as an absolute standard in football.
In Pérez's view, some of the criticism directed at Real Madrid seems more like an attempt to influence the club than simple sports analysis. He spoke openly about this on the El Chiringuito broadcast.
"Last year we won two trophies. Do you think we have to win the Champions League every year?! If so, all other teams in Europe would have to fold," said Pérez.
With these words, the Real Madrid president acknowledged that expectations for the club are always very high. Indeed, the Madrid club stands out from others due to its historical achievements, Champions League records, and the setting of major goals every season. However, according to Pérez, the notion that even Real Madrid must ascend the European throne every year does not align with the reality of football logic.
He stated that some of the attacks and pressure against the club are not coincidental. Pérez characterized these criticisms as a campaign led by those who want to control Real Madrid.
"The criticism against Real Madrid is a campaign organized by some who want to control the club. My term ends in two and a half years. Everyone knows what kind of journalists these are," he added.
This statement is bound to cause a stir in Spanish football. Because at a club like Real Madrid, every defeat, every transfer decision, and the end of every season is analyzed separately. Both fans and journalists always expect maximum results from such a team.
However, Pérez's position is clear: Real Madrid is a big club, but there are no guaranteed victories in football. Fighting for trophies is an obligation, but winning the Champions League every year is not an easy task, even for the strongest team.
In short, Florentino Pérez gave a rather sharp and confident response to the criticism. He did not deny that Real Madrid's goals are always high, but emphasized that there is excessive pressure and artificial campaigns against the club. In Madrid, the situation remains as usual: results are demanded, debates never cease, and the name Real Madrid remains at the center of big football.
