Real Madrid president Florentino hopes Barcelona do well: But we are better

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez insists they're not trying to steal Barcelona's thunder this summer.

He said: "Real Madrid will have to fight like all teams, great players are no guarantee of anything. What we wanted to convey was that we had to pick ourselves up, as the best club of the twentieth century, and therefore of history."

"We do not have to aim a blow at Barcelona. They had a great season and we congratulate them. This serves as a motivation and now we have to work with humility to win the league and the Champions League."

"We want them to go well, but we are better."
