On Sunday, Real Madrid held a victory parade to celebrate winning their 15th Champions League title in club history.
Fans cheered enthusiastically, welcoming the team back from Wembley with their fifteenth Champions League trophy. When the team arrived at Puerta del Sol Square, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, personally awarded Florentino Pérez with a medal of honor in recognition of the team’s outstanding achievement. In return, the Real Madrid president presented Ayuso with a meaningful gift: a replica of the Champions League trophy and a jersey signed by all the players, embroidered with the number 1, symbolizing the team’s unity and glory.
“Real Madrid, this name once again echoes through the hearts and minds of countless people around the world, inspiring dreams and passion. We thank the Community of Madrid for their warm welcome. While our club belongs to the world, remember, Madrid will always be our roots, our home port.” Florentino Pérez’s speech won the first round of applause from the crowd.
Florentino Pérez paid tribute to his opponents: “This Champions League journey has reignited the passion of our fans, every game was a challenge to our limits. Here, I want to express my deepest respect to Borussia Dortmund, they are a worthy opponent, I want to congratulate their players, coaching staff and my friend – their CEO. In London, our friendly club showed their true strength.”
The Real Madrid president also said: “Injuries never stopped us, because we have legends, they are the pride of Real Madrid and world football. Dear players, you are writing chapters of joy that we will never forget. Some of you have joined the ranks of our beloved Paco Gento, becoming six-time Champions League winners. Nacho, Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos, he is a treasure for us both on and off the field, let’s thank him together.”
Florentino Pérez’s words were met with thunderous applause, and Toni Kroos rose to acknowledge the crowd amid cheers, though he appeared a little shy in the face of prolonged applause, but it was a recognition of his outstanding performance. “Thank you, not only for your extraordinary skills on the field, but also for your consistent example.” When mentioning Toni Kroos, the Real Madrid president’s voice was filled with emotion, with a hint of choking, he offered the German midfielder his most sincere farewell.
