To the surprise of the entire football world, Real Madrid did not receive the award for Best Club of the year 2021/22. In a decision that surprised even the English fans themselves, France Football decided to award the award to Manchester City.
The decisive criterion for awarding this curious award, believe it or not, was that Los Sky Blues they had more nominees (6) for the Ballon d’Or than Madrid (5).
What did Florentino Pérez say regarding this decision? Well, the president of Real Madrid behaved with great dignity and greatness.
Instead of making a mess -understanding that it was the great night of Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois- he limited himself to congratulating City, which seems to him to be a great club.
THE ELEGANT RESPONSE OF FLORENTINO PÉREZ
“My congratulations to City, I think it’s a great club. It has a great president, a great coach, some good players and is also worthy of the award. It doesn’t surprise me, I think it’s a great club, I mean it. Not everything is going to be taken by Real Madrid”declared the president, in an interview with The beach bar.
As he does not know how they solve this trophy, he preferred to centralize his message by sending congratulations to The citizens: “I don’t know the rules that the Ball has and the only thing I can do is congratulate them”.
Undefeated data. Real Madrid has gone 14 consecutive games without defeat this season. Brutal start to the season in the Spanish League (absolute leaders), UEFA Champions League (sealed round of 16 ticket) and European Super Cup.
Did you know…? With Florentino Pérez as president, Real Madrid have won 5 UEFA Champions Leagues. The Ninth, The Tenth, The Eleventh, The Twelfth, The Thirteenth and The Fourteenth. Forever in the history of the greatest club in history. Almost nothing.
