Real Madrid: Florentino Pérez responds to the heavy defeat against PSG

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has just responded to the heavy defeat suffered by Los Blancos against PSG (4-0) in the Club World Cup semi-final.

Real Madrid endured a nightmare evening on Wednesday. It was a crushing 4-0 loss to PSG in the semi-final of the Club World Cup.

At the final whistle, the Spanish press did not hold back in their criticism of Madrid’s performance. But true to form, president Florentino Pérez kept his head held high. Interviewed by journalist Edu Aguirre for El Chiringuito, the head of Los Merengues delivered a statement full of meaning: "Morale never falters."

A statement that truly reflects his character—he never gives up. Despite this setback against the reigning European champions, it is far too soon to write off Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have proven time and again their ability to turn things around, even in the most challenging moments of a season.
