Florentino Perez, the 79-year-old president of Real Madrid, announced on Tuesday that he will stand for re-election amid a challenging season for the club, which will finish trophyless for the second year in a row. Following a 2-0 defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou, which secured the La Liga title for Barcelona, Perez expressed his frustration over the club's performance and the ongoing protests from fans against star player Kylian Mbappe. He described the negative media narrative surrounding the club as an 'absurd campaign' aimed at undermining Real Madrid's interests. Perez also addressed internal issues, including a public altercation between players Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, which resulted in fines. Furthermore, he is preparing a 500-page dossier for UEFA regarding alleged corruption in Spanish refereeing, claiming that Real Madrid has been unfairly treated. In response, Barcelona's legal team is reviewing Perez's comments amidst their own investigation into corruption allegations related to payments made to a former referee committee vice-president.
