Real Madrid president Florentino Perez addressed the players after Tuesday night's shock in Monaco.

Perez usually steers clear of the dressing room after games, but chose to speak with the players to assure them that the board was still confident in their abilities and that they had to refocus and make sure they won the La Liga this season.

Sports director Jorge Valdano also spoke, and like Perez, attempted to project an air of calmness to the players, despite the night's shocking result.
