Real Madrid grabbed their 35th La Liga title on Saturday evening after beating Espanyol.
It was a Landmark season for the players as they are also having wonderful moments at the Champions League. One player that has shown much improvement is Karim Benzema and Real Madrid President Florentino Perez believes that it’s time he was recognised for it.
“Benzema has been good now and since he came, there is no doubt that they have to give him a Ballon D’Or this year, they can’t take it away from him.”
The head coach Carlo Ancelotti once said that it was a surprise to get the opportunity to return to Real Madrid. Marca reported Florentino Perez’s take on that.
“Possibly, as soon as we called him he said ‘I’m already on my way running,’ that’s what he said. And speaking with him these days he told me he had managed many teams and says that the difference is that the players at Madrid are Madridistas and that’s an advantage.”
“He has been around a while when it comes to coaching squads and there is always someone who criticises something, but his identification with Real Madrid is considerable, with his values and what he represents, and that is important in a manager.”
On the possibility of signing Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germain this season.
“I hadn’t gotten fallen for that but now they tell it could be true and so on… When we plan the squad for next year we will see.”
