Episode Details

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has openly backed Florentino Pérez in his Real Madrid re-election bid, publicly praising his leadership just days before the June 7 vote. Pérez, facing his first major challenge in over 20 years against young CEO Enrique Riquelme—who’s courting star legend Raúl—leans on his legacy and endorsements from icons like Benzema and Ronaldo. Infantino’s support, coming after a high-profile meeting at the Champions League final, signals more than goodwill—it’s a strategic endorsement rooted in their shared vision for global football revenue and infrastructure, including the Bernabéu’s role in the 2030 World Cup.
