Florentino Pérez is a happy president. Or rather “quiet and happy”, as he confided with some measure at the microphone of Movistar after Real Madrid’s victory in the Champions League final against Liverpool (1-0), the 14th in its history. “We had a good season overall. We deserve this Champions League, the players, the coach and the fans. These players feed on our audience, we have experienced unforgettable matches, ”continues the one who experienced his 6th European coronation on Saturday as president of the Spanish club.

For the construction magnate, the disappointment linked to the non-arrival of Kylian Mbappé in Madrid is already ancient history, relegated to the background behind this new continental triumph. “Real will continue to try to have the best players but Mbappé is already in the past. Nothing happened. We had a perfect season and that’s something we forgot. Today, Mbappé does not exist, only the Real Madrid party exists,” added the Merengue boss.
