Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, did not want to miss his team’s most important match of the week. Early on Tuesday, the club's top executive flew to Doha to accompany the players and coaching staff on the eve of the Intercontinental Cup final, where they will face Mexican side Pachuca.

The Madrid president arrived at the Al Messila hotel, the team’s base of operations since their arrival in Qatar late Monday night. He entered the dining room mid-meal to personally greet the squad. In a relaxed and friendly manner, Florentino Pérez chatted and joked with key players like Vinícius Junior and Kylian Mbappé, who lead the white team’s attack ahead of the highly anticipated match.

After greeting the dressing room leaders, the president moved through the room to speak one-on-one with each player called up for the final. Words of encouragement and confidence were not lacking as Pérez reminded the players of the significance of the occasion. The goal is clear: win the Intercontinental Cup and add another trophy to the club’s extensive collection.

In addition to meeting with the players, Florentino spent a few minutes talking with Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach is on the verge of making history, as a victory in the final would make him the most decorated manager in Real Madrid’s history, surpassing Miguel Muñoz’s record. Aware of the moment's importance, Pérez offered his full support to the coach, who is navigating one of the most demanding seasons of his career.
