Florentino P\u00e9rez, president of Real Madrid, expressed his happiness after his team\u2019s dominant 3-0 victory over Pachuca FC in the Club World Cup final in Qatar. Standing alongside the newly crowned champions, P\u00e9rez reflected on the success, stating that 2024 would be hard to surpass.<\/p>\n
With just a few days left in the year, he acknowledged the club\u2019s achievement of winning five titles in 2024, including this latest one, marking their ninth Club World Cup triumph.<\/p>\n
The game, played at the Lusail Stadium, saw standout performances from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Rodrygo Goes\u2014who scored a stunning goal\u2014and Vinicius, who was recently named Player of the Year at the FIFA The Best awards. This victory also made Carlo Ancelotti the most decorated coach in Real Madrid\u2019s history. P\u00e9rez, speaking to the club\u2019s official channel, highlighted how difficult it would be for Real Madrid to replicate such a successful year in 2025. \u201c2024 will be difficult to match with five titles,\u201d he said, adding that the team\u2019s continued success was a result of having a strong squad and coach.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, P\u00e9rez hinted that 2025 could be a challenging year in terms of trophies, with fewer expectations for a similar haul. However, Real Madrid will still have opportunities, starting with the Spanish Supercup in January, where they face Osasuna in the semifinals, followed by the winner of Athletic Bilbao and FC Barcelona. The Copa del Rey also starts in January, and with strong performances in La Liga and the Champions League, Real could still be in contention for multiple titles.<\/p>\n
In July, the expanded 32-team Club World Cup in the USA could offer another chance to add to their collection of trophies. If they can keep their squad healthy and regain balance in defense, there is still potential for a historic year. The goal is clear: to surpass 2024\u2019s remarkable trophy count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
