Florentino Pérez’s visit to the dressing room after Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid reflects his leadership style—offering direct encouragement to key players during crucial moments. With Kylian Mbappé struggling to break through Atlético’s defense, Pérez’s words served as both reassurance and motivation, reminding him of his decisive impact in the previous round against Manchester City.
This kind of personal support from the club president highlights the immense expectations surrounding Mbappé, especially as Real Madrid enters a defining stretch of the season. With a La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano on the horizon and the second leg against Atlético approaching, Mbappé will be eager to respond with a standout performance.
Pérez’s approach also underscores the importance of morale in elite football. By backing his star forward publicly and privately, he not only reinforces confidence within the squad but also ensures Madrid’s biggest players remain focused and motivated for the challenges ahead.
