Florentino Perez said today that the club’s fans have to be proud of their team’s achievements in 2017, despite the 3-0 El Clasico defeat by Barcelona that left them 14 points behind in the La Liga title race.
“2017 was a year that the Madridistas will never forget,” Perez said in his traditional Christmas message to supporters, a day after the home loss to Barca.
“In terms of titles, it’s been the best in the 115 years of our history, and for all of our supporters, 2017 was a great year.
“We are proud of our team and our coach, Zinedine Zidane. They are part of this legend and the myth that is Real Madrid.”
“Overall, 2017 was very positive. We must continue in this direction for 2018,” said Zidane, who is bidding to lead Real to a third straight European crown.
