🚨🎙️Iker Casillas thoughts on Florentino Perez’s press conference yesterday: “I love Florentino Pérez. I owe him part of my career, part of my history, part of my life at Real Madrid. But because I love it, I cannot sit quietly and pretend everything is normal anymore. “People are scared to say it because Florentino built the modern Real Madrid, but somebody has to be honest now… this is no longer the club we fought for in the dressing room. What I watched yesterday wasn’t leadership. It was a man at war with everybody, the media, UEFA, referees, journalists, even his own shadows. Real Madrid used to intimidate Europe with football. Now we hold press conferences blaming conspiracies every time things go wrong. Yesterday I saw a man fighting shadows instead of facing the truth. The dangerous part? Madridistas are starting to normalize it. You cannot call every failed season a robbery. At some point you look in the mirror and admit the planning failed. The old generation carried this club for years and covered cracks that are now impossible to hide. Ramos, Modrić, Kroos, Benzema, Marcelo, Cristiano… they protected the institution with personality. Today I see a club hiding behind excuses instead of standards. And honestly, the obsession with politics is becoming bigger than football itself. Super League wars, Negreira dossiers, media enemies, presidential drama… meanwhile the team lost identity on the pitch. Real Madrid fans don’t care about 500-page documents. They care about winning and respecting the badge. What shocked me most was hearing Florentino speak like a man defending his throne instead of defending the club. Real Madrid should never revolve around one person. Not even Santiago Bernabéu acted like he was the club. The saddest thing? Many Madrid fans know this already but won’t admit it publicly because they’re afraid of sounding ungrateful. Yes, Florentino gave Madrid galaticos and trophies. But success from the past cannot become immunity from criticism forever. And if we’re being serious… the Mourinho rumors tell you everything. Bringing Mourinho back in 2026 would prove this club is emotionally stuck in the past. Madrid used to lead football into the future. Now it feels like we’re desperately trying to relive old wars and old glory. This doesn’t look like the strongest club in the world anymore. It looks like a giant slowly losing control while pretending everything is under control.”
