Real Madrid is reaffirming its status as a European football powerhouse as they continue an incredible campaign in the 2024/25 season. With their ambitious goal of achieving a historic sextuple gradually becoming more realistic, the club’s management has made a bold move to keep the entire squad’s morale at the highest level.
Perez Goes Big with Huge Bonus
According to exclusive reports from reputable sources, club president Florentino Perez has decided to award a “hot bonus” of €250,000 (nearly 7 billion VND) to each Real Madrid player following their dramatic victory over Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. This is one of the largest bonuses in the club’s history for a match at this stage of the competition.
“This amount is not just a reward—it’s a recognition from the club’s leadership for the extraordinary fighting spirit of the players,” an internal source revealed. “President Perez understands that mental strength is crucial to conquering all competitions.”
The win over Atletico Madrid was anything but easy. The two sides had to settle the score through a tense penalty shootout, where Real Madrid’s stars showed their composure to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Kings of Europe
No club has been as successful in the Champions League as Real Madrid. With 15 titles, Los Blancos are far ahead of all other teams. This season, they continue to demonstrate why they are considered the “Kings of European Competitions.”
Notably, Real Madrid topped their group with a perfect record, winning every match—a rare feat in Champions League history, especially given the difficulty of their group.
Head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who holds the record for most Champions League titles as a manager (4), is well aware of the pressure at Real Madrid. “Here, only winning is acceptable. We don’t just want to win—we must win in Real Madrid’s style,” said the Italian tactician.
In the 2024/25 Champions League quarterfinals, Real Madrid will face Arsenal—one of the Premier League’s strongest teams under manager Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have been in impressive form and are considered one of the most tactically difficult teams to face in Europe.
“Arsenal is a formidable opponent. They combine physicality, technique, and tactics extremely well. We’ll need thorough preparation to overcome this challenge,” said veteran midfielder Luka Modric.
Nevertheless, with the added motivation of a generous bonus and the prospect of even more rewards as they advance, Real Madrid is expected to play with maximum determination. Sources from the dressing room indicate that if the team wins the Champions League, each player could receive up to €1 million in bonuses.
The Dream of a Historic Sextuple Is Alive
Having already won the Spanish Super Cup, currently leading La Liga, and still in contention for both the Champions League and Copa del Rey, Real Madrid remains on track for a historic sextuple. No team other than Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona (in 2009) has ever achieved this feat. As highlighted in an article on Vaoroitv, this remains a possibility that excites fans worldwide.
“We don’t talk much about the sextuple, but everyone knows it’s a historic opportunity. We prepare for every game as if it’s a final,” said defender Dani Carvajal.
To fulfill this dream, Real Madrid must play 16 more matches across all competitions. It’s a massive challenge in terms of both physical and mental demands, but with the enticing bonus policy from President Perez, the Royal Club certainly has the motivation to push through.
