The club’s president expects the side to bounce back from last season’s failure immediately, stating there is no target they cannot achieve next term
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says the club will prove they can make “impossible” dreams come true next season.
Madrid won the Champions League and Copa del Rey in 2014 but were unable to retain either trophy last season, while also falling short in La Liga as rivals Barcelona won the treble.
The lack of silverware resulted in the sacking of coach Carlo Ancelotti and subsequent appointment of Rafa Benitez as his successor and Perez expects the team to bounce back immediately.
“We’ll be back fighting in no time,” he said said in a speech from the VIP box in the Santiago Benabeu on Tuesday.
“That’s the only way we have been able to demonstrate that dreams can be realised, both those that are possible and those that seem impossible.
“At this club you learn never to give up on a game as a lost cause, to fight to the last second and to come back stronger when we don’t get the results we want.”
Benitez is Madrid’s fourth coach since Perez was re-installed as president in 2009, a period that has seen them pick up just one league title.
