R<\/span>Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is experiencing perhaps one of the worst moments in the club’s recent history. In just four days, the Whites have missed out on the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, suggesting that 2026 will be a very complicated year for the club.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid, who were thought to be Galacticos 2.0, have not been able to get back on track even with the arrival of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 last season. Bizarrely, his former team ended up winning the Champions League and reaching the last six, something they had never achieved in the club’s long history.<\/p>\n

Florentino P\u00e9rez: Could 2026 be his last year as Real Madrid president?<\/h2>\n
Current president Florentino Perez, 78, has no plans to step down and plans to continue at the helm of the club until at least his current term expires in 2028. However, for this to be possible and for his continuity as Real Madrid manager to not be called into question by an emergency vote, the result must go the club’s way.<\/p>\n
Many internet users have commented on social networks that the bad period that the most successful club in the Champions League is experiencing is mainly due to Florentino and his decisions as president.<\/p>\n
The signing of 2018 World Cup winner Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 is in question, without prioritizing a midfielder with the qualifications of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, who left Real Madrid as true legends of the club and of football in general.<\/p>\n
Among the comments from users on social networks, there is also talk about the sudden dismissal of Xabi Alonso by the Bayern club. Internet users and sports media compared the former manager’s numbers with current Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick’s numbers from his first game, and surprisingly, both the wins, losses, and draws of the games matched.<\/p>\n
The difference was that Barcelona knew how to be patient with the German coach and in a short period of time managed to give the Blaugrana club an identity, thereby winning titles, some of which they won from Real Madrid, including the Supercopa de Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

The merengues were eliminated from two competitions at the beginning of 2026. The first was the Spanish Super Cup, where the white club lost 3-2 to Hansi Flick’s Barcelona in the final in Saudi Arabia. The second competition Florentino P\u00e9rez’s side lost in was the Copa del Rey, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 by one point against Albacete, managed by former Madrid midfielder Jes\u00fas Vallejo. 3-2.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid currently sit in second place in La Liga, four points behind leaders Barcelona, \u200b\u200band have every chance of continuing to fight for the domestic title.<\/p>\n
The other competition is the Champions League, where Vinicius Junior and his team are in 8th place, and if the team can find peace and harmony on the field without relying on individuality all the time, there is plenty of room to continue to fight and take center stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
