Florentino Perez jokes about calling police after Barcelona fan confession

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was caught jokingly threatening to call the police after discovering that a supporter he approached at Santiago Bernabeu was a Barcelona fan.

Perez was speaking to an American woman during the National Football League meeting between Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons when he asked whether she supported Real Madrid.

Her answer surprised him: she revealed that she followed the club’s rivals, Barcelona.

Perez immediately laughed and played along with the rivalry. Raising his voice, he said: “You’re a Barcelona fan? Police! Come over here.”

The exchange was captured by a camera from Marca and the video quickly spread across social media. The supporter had given Perez an opportunity to make a light-hearted joke, and the Real Madrid president took it.

It is an unusual situation for a Barcelona fan to be playfully questioned by the president of Real Madrid inside Santiago Bernabeu.

Perez was attending the game between Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons, which was the second National Football League regular-season match to be staged in Spain.

Cincinnati, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, won the game 34-17.

Real Madrid are scheduled to face Celta Vigo in La Liga on 21 November 2026, while Barcelona play Villarreal in La Liga on 22 November 2026.
