Real Madrid

Real Madrid Director of Institutional Relations, Emilio Butragueño commented on the team shortly after the club signed a deal to extend collaborative measures with the Community of Madrid.

"I am sure Cristiano Ronaldo's birthday wish is to win the Champions League, which is what we all want."

"This is a very strong team. The fact that it keeps getting better makes total sense."

"We have notched a lot of points and I am sure we would have won the first half of the season any other year with the 44 points we had."

"We cannot lose. The draw in Pamplona and the defeat in Bilbao are what stand between us and the lead. The season is long and I am sure we can turn it around."
