Real Madrid prez offers rallying cry ahead of Bayern Munich showdown

Real Madrid trails Bayern Munich 2-1 on aggregate heading into the decisive second leg, but there seems to be a malaise affecting the team at the moment.

Sensing that his boys might need a boost, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez offered words of encouragement to his squad.

“We have won 58 titles in the last 15 years, including six European Cups in football and three in basketball. We value things in their fair measure, and we are aware of the difficulties of achieving each victory and each title,” said Perez (as captured by Football Espana). “I have always said that the loyalty of Madridismo is our great strength. Here no one gives up and we are going to continue fighting year after year until the last moment to try to continue adding titles to the greatest list of winners in the history of sport. It is an honor to have your support to continue pursuing the best club in history.”

Can Real Madrid hit the road and get the job done? We shall soon find out.

Domestically, the team has struggled, but there is a strong focus on Champions League play. In a sense, this is all Real Madrid has to play for at this stage of the season.
