As the eagerly awaited El Clásico approaches, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez made it clear that his priority is nothing less than securing three points. Real Madrid are currently unbeaten in 32 consecutive matches across all competitions, breaking the previous record of 31 set by Carlo Ancelotti. Pérez expressed his hope that Madrid can extend this run to 33, a testament to the team’s consistency. Fans worldwide, many of whom follow match updates and insights on the Crickex App, understand how such streaks can define a season.
Pérez explained, “I won’t say El Clásico is just another game. It is a decisive clash with special significance. This match has global importance, attracting millions of viewers around the world, much like a World Cup final. When these two clubs meet, it goes beyond anything else imaginable. Of course, winning against Barcelona is beautiful, but the most crucial part of winning is the three points on the La Liga table. That has been our dream for this season.” His words underline how even in the heat of fierce rivalry, the league standings remain the ultimate priority.
The last meeting between the two giants ended in a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, and Pérez did not hesitate to praise head coach Zinedine Zidane. “Since taking over on January 4, he has been in charge for nearly a year now. In La Liga, he has lost only one match, and in the Champions League, only one as well. I have always said that as a player he changed the history of Real Madrid, and now as a coach, he is changing our lives. From a professional standpoint, he has been exceptional. He commands authority in front of the players because they deeply respect him.”
Real Madrid are also preparing to travel to Japan for the Club World Cup, and Pérez confirmed that the club’s ambition is nothing short of a treble this season: the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Club World Cup. “If we win these three trophies, it will bring immense satisfaction. We have achieved this feat before, and we hope to repeat it this year. That is our objective. If we can win even more trophies, that is even better, because our mission is to keep making history and ensure Real Madrid remain the greatest club of this century.”
He concluded with confidence in his team’s path forward. “We are competing in three fronts right now—the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and La Liga. We are unbeaten in 32 games, and we will continue on this path because I know Zidane and his players well. I believe we are on the right track.”
For global football fans who monitor every twist and turn through the Crickex App, Pérez’s words highlight the determination within Real Madrid’s camp. The upcoming El Clásico is more than just another rivalry—it is a battle that could shape the league, strengthen Madrid’s unbeaten run, and push them closer to their ambitious treble dream. In the end, while history and rivalry matter, securing those three points is what truly defines champions.
