“Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.”
Psalms 4:1 NIV https://t.co/In4t7BTtp3
2 He said: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me.
🚨 BREAKING: Florentino Pérez’s candidacy video:
“Running the world’s biggest club isn’t something you can improvise. You need to think long-term and be able to stay the course.
We have transformed Real Madrid into the world’s most valuable club—with the highest revenue, the best reputation, and the most valuable brand on the planet.
But the world changes every day, and leadership cannot be taken for granted; we must keep working day by day. The greatest era in the history of world football is not over. 66 titles including 7 Champions League trophies set the bar for everything to come. New nights that will seem impossible, but that we will experience together once again.
From Figo to Mbappé, none arrived alone; they were the result of a vision and a determination we cannot lose. The arrival of the world’s best players will not be a dream; it will continue to be a reality.
The new Bernabéu is the most advanced stadium on the planet. It is proof that this club thinks in decades, not seasons. Every stone in the upcoming expansion of Valdebebas bears the same commitment engraved upon it: to build the best environment for always winning.
Madrid’s greatness is not measured solely by titles. It is measured by the children who learn, the people it shapes. The very jersey with which Champions are won is also a commitment to living by values. This is the Real Madrid foundation, Real Madrid university, this is us.
Remaining the best club in the world means continuing to work tirelessly—in management, in technology, in experience. Every year, without stopping. While others watch, we are creating new ways to lead the world of sports and entertainment.
Real Madrid does not belong to any president; it belongs to its members. To those who, since childhood, have cried and laughed while wearing the same jersey. It was always you, and it always will be.
Because greatness cannot be improvised or inherited, and because the best club in the world never stops.”
