Florentino Perez Promises Real Madrid Players Juicy Bonus for Arsenal Comeback

Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has reportedly promised his players a hefty financial reward if they manage to overturn their Champions League quarter-final deficit against Arsenal.

The Spanish giants were humbled 3-0 in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium last week, leaving them with a mountain to climb in the second leg set for Wednesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu. With the pressure mounting, Perez has stepped in to motivate the squad ahead of what is now one of their biggest games of the season.

According to reports from SPORT, Perez visited the Real Madrid dressing room after their narrow 1-0 win over Alaves in LaLiga. The visit, which took place at the Mendizorroza stadium, saw Perez deliver a rousing message to the team, particularly addressing superstar Kylian Mbappe and other senior players.

“If you win and reach the semi-finals, you’ll receive a reward from the club,” Perez reportedly said, offering a “juicy bonus” to encourage the team.

The incentive comes as Real Madrid prepares for an intense showdown with an in-form Arsenal side. Despite the three-goal advantage held by the Gunners, the tie is far from over, especially with Madrid’s history of staging dramatic comebacks at the Bernabeu.

The players are now not only playing for pride and progression but also a sizable financial incentive, as the club hopes to reignite their European campaign and push for a record-extending 15th Champions League title.
