Florentino Pérez: "To be the best in Europe and then the world gives us great satisfaction." | OneFootball

Real Madrid have won their eighth Club World Cup in Morocco. After the final, club president Florentino Pérez expressed his delight on Realmadrid TV: "To win a World Cup you have to win a Champions League. Madrid has an ongoing love affair with the Champions League and this Club World Cup is the icing on the cake".

"It's never easy to win a title, so this title is special because you have to win a Champions League first. To be the best in Europe and then in the world gives me great satisfaction and I'm very proud of all my players.

55 trophies as club president and the sixth Club World Cup "It's not easy because you have to win six Champions League trophies and I've been lucky enough to have done that. Then we have capped it off with the Club World Cup. We have to keep working hard because at Real Madrid everything we win is the springboard for the next trophy."

Veterans and youth "As they say, with the mix of veterans and young players and a coach like Ancelotti, you can achieve these things. The credit goes to the players. We have a team of great players who are not only fantastic players, but also great madridistas. That mix makes us invincible at times."

Affection from Madrid fans "I have been here for a long time and I have had the opportunity to see this in many places around the world. This reaffirms that Real Madrid is a global club and is close to the hearts of all the fans in the world. Our job is to continue to nourish Real Madrid’s legendary status."
