Florentino Perez on why losing La-Liga doesn’t matter
Florentino Perez says losing La-Liga doesn’t matter for Real Madrid, after record breaking Champions League success.
“Real Madrid had a good League campaign and did [in the seasons] previously. Since I returned in 2009, the points we’ve picked up would’ve been enough to win all the other Leagues, the President continued.

“It’s not normal to lose a League with 91 points, 94, 92 … No-one has ever picked up as many points. It’s not normal to not win a League with more than 90 points, here or anywhere in the world.
“To win the League in recent seasons, we’ve had to pick up 100 points and score 120 goals. It’s not normal, even if Atletico won the League with 90. For us, it’s very difficult to win the League, but [not winning it last season] doesn’t matter.
“Losing [the CL] wouldn’t have been a failure. Ronaldo only said that to motivate himself. When you fall at the first hurdle, that’s a failure. You don’t have to win everything, only that you’re thereabouts. He’s the worthiest winner of the Ballon d’Or.

“Casemiro has been a surprise to some, but I had no doubts about him, so I let him go to Porto. He was already with us in the season of La Decima, and has the ability to become a great. His positioning, his touch…
“[James Rodriguez] arrived late and started late. Others were playing well, but he’s one of the great players we have.
“We’ve not had any offers for anyone, neither have we talked about the future yet. Still, the good news is that everyone has gone away [for the summer] and it allows us to work without pressure.
“Some players are non-transferable, but as [all the players] have high release clauses, they’re all non-transferable! all [laughs]. Madrid are a buying club and if anyone wants to leave then they can, but only if [other teams] pay their clauses.
“In the past, some players wanted to go, but it’s not happened to me with anyone. I’m not referring to every player who has left, but those who have gone and seen other things maybe regret having gone.
“There’s professional and sporting affection here, a stimulus, and most players would give up more to play for this club and experience this [while turning to the CL trophy].
