Florentine-Cherry Meeting

Florentino Pérez and Enrique Cerezo, presidents of Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, respectively, were eating this Wednesday at O'Pazo, a well-known Madrid restaurant where they talked about the news of their respective sports institutions.

Hours later, the Madrid president received good news when UEFA announced the suspension of the proceedings against the white team, Barcelona and Juventus for the creation of the European Super League, in which the rojiblanco club was also included before backing down days after being announced at the end of last April, following pressure received by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.

Madrid is aware that Atlético agrees with the founding philosophy that the white club shares with Barça and Juventus to seek a competition that clearly multiplies revenue. Miguel Ángel Gil Marín chose to give in and not continue with the pulse of UEFA, but the relationship between Real Madrid and Atlético continues to be very fluid and it cannot be ruled out that in the future their paths will cross again in this endeavor.

Another topic that was discussed was the economic one and the way to avoid the crisis that has caused the coronavirus pandemic.
