Real Madrid president Florentino Perez held a surprise press conference on Tuesday to address speculation about his future and criticism of the club. He confirmed he will not resign and called for elections while defending his health and leadership.
Perez spoke after Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in El Clasico at the weekend, a result that secured the La Liga title for the visitors. The team has already been eliminated from the Champions League and will finish the season without a trophy following a turbulent campaign that included the January sacking of coach Xabi Alonso.
