“This woman doesn't know football and writes articles about Real Madrid”

Among the topics covered in the conference, Perez also had a sexist slip towards a journalist from the “ABC” publication, about which he mentioned “I don't know if she knows anything about football or not”.

Florentino Perez, sexist slip to a journalist: “I don't know if he knows anything about football”

During the press conference, Florentino Perez addressed more topics, including the conflict that broke out in training between Aurelian Tchouameni and Federico Valverde. Perez also announced that he would not resign as president of the club, but the most controversial statement was made to an ABC journalist.

“Real Madrid is the strongest and most valuable brand in the world, the club with the highest reputation globally. Why do journalists want to associate themselves with the most prestigious and valued club, the one with the most fans in the world? This club belongs to everyone. And it has the most valuable team in the world.

Their sole purpose was to attack Real Madrid and its president. And I'm sorry, because my dad used to read ABC and subscribed to me years ago, but now I've decided to cancel my ABC subscription to honor my dad, who will be grateful.

How can ABC do this? Nobody bought it, nobody bought it, and it caused a schism there. So I'm announcing that I'm canceling my ABC subscription; I will honor my father better by canceling it. Look at the two articles they wrote today, by a woman I don't know if she knows anything about football or not“.
