In the stands of the Santiago Bernabéu last Saturday during the Clasico against Barça, Florentino Pérez endured a rough evening, like all Madrid fans.
Hours after the end of the match on the eleventh day of La Liga between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu, which concluded with a resounding victory for the Catalans (0-4), an incredible video of Florentino Pérez was leaked. Seated beside Joan Laporta, the Barça president, who was enjoying his team’s performance as they showed no mercy to the Madrilenians, the Real Madrid president experienced a bitter evening.
Pérez’s Bitter Reaction
As shown in a viral video from DAZN circulating on social media, especially in Spain since Sunday, Florentino Pérez did not hide his frustration after Andriy Lunin conceded the second goal. Visibly horrified by the display put on by his team, the head of the White House raised both hands with a rare expression to convey his disappointment. For a man who almost never shows his emotions, it’s clear that the performance by Kylian Mbappé and his teammates was far below expectations.
As we mentioned a few hours earlier, Pérez was not at all pleased with what he witnessed last Saturday. At the final whistle, after Real Madrid’s heavy 4-0 defeat on their home turf, the businessman and sports executive went down to gauge the mood in the locker room. According to the newspaper Marca, the events that deeply matter to the Madrid boss are the Clasicos, the Champions League final, and the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
While awaiting to make the right decisions to restore Carlo Ancelotti’s team to its former glory, Florentino Pérez will travel to France this Monday, hoping to see Vinicius Junior lift the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Barring any surprises, the 24-year-old Madrid winger is expected to claim this major honour at the Théâtre des Châtelet in Paris, ahead of other candidates like Rodri, Carvajal, and Jude Bellingham.
