🔴LIVE: Florentino Pérez’s extraordinary press conference

Real Madrid have announced a surprise press conference by their president, Florentino Pérez, for this afternoon at 6:00 p.m.

Here we’ll tell you everything that happens live:

"Stronger than ever," according to Pedrerol

The director of El Chiringuito has conveyed this impression of Florentino Pérez’s state of mind, in contrast to the information first reported by ABC.

At this point in the afternoon, there are few voices speculating about the possible resignation of the president.

Referees at the center of the debate

According to Edu Pidal, Florentino Pérez will acknowledge mistakes and announce the dossier they have prepared to inform UEFA of their complaints about the refereeing.

13 years since Florentino’s last press conference...

On May 20, 2013, the Real Madrid president gave his last traditional press conference, taking questions from journalists. With Mourinho already on his way out, Pérez was setting the stage for Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival.

According to ABC, the Real Madrid president has shown his discouragement to his trusted inner circle before the extraordinary Board of Directors meeting began. "I’m very tired" is the impression the outlet has been able to confirm.

What is the president going to talk about?

Given that the press conference is scheduled after the Board of Directors meeting, it is to be expected that Florentino Pérez will take stock of the season and assess the recent acts of indiscipline in the Real Madrid dressing room.

From there, there are many topics on the table: will he announce the new coach? Will he clarify the club’s new ownership model? Will he resign?
