After the “intervillesque” draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, and while Real Madrid went from Benfica to PSG as opponents in February and March, we imagined a reaction to say the least hairy signed Florentino Perez, the big boss of Casa Blanca. But this will not be the case if we are to believe the latest information from the Madrid daily As.
Indeed, while Real had for a time left in doubt about a possible complaint to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the club would have finally decided not to go any further and to accept its fate. He still split two salty letters sent Monday to UEFA to tell him all the harm he thought of his folk draw.

Revenge is a dish best served cold
But if the president of Real has given up on setting European football on fire, this XXL quack from the European body could serve him in the future to put the Super League project back on the table, he who had been sent back to the ropes in last April after trying to secede with eleven other European top clubs. Knowing the political animal that is Florentino Perez, we trust him not to soon forget the bad UEFA joke and bring it out under his nose when he sees fit.
