Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has voiced his frustration over the infrequent visits of Premier League clubs to the iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Speaking candidly, Pérez highlighted the missed opportunities for showcasing high-profile matches between La Liga and Premier League teams.
A Rare Sight: Premier League Teams at the Bernabéu
In a startling revelation, Pérez stated:
> “In 122 years, PL teams have visited the Bernabéu only 22 times. Arsenal only ONCE in our history. Manchester United, once in last 16 years. This is WRONG.”
These statistics underline how seldom English clubs play at one of football’s most historic venues, depriving fans of exciting matchups.
Criticism of Modern Football Scheduling
Pérez didn’t hold back in criticizing football’s governing bodies, suggesting that commercial interests outweigh the importance of creating memorable games for fans. He remarked:
> “No one cares about putting on a good show.”
The Real Madrid president’s comments call for a restructuring of European competitions to ensure more frequent clashes between elite clubs across leagues.
Florentino Pérez’s remarks shed light on a concerning trend in European football. The infrequent visits of Premier League teams to the Bernabéu not only limit the global appeal of football but also deny fans the chance to witness iconic battles. Pérez’s push for change reflects his vision of making the sport more entertaining and accessible to fans worldwide.
