Rafael Benitez is commenting on the Champions League for the BT Sport network and there he revealed some details about his departure from Real Madrid and sent a message to Florentino Perez.

¡TAKE THAT FLORENTINO!

"Florentino Perez got a little nervous. The situation is difficult to explain. It's not easy to know exactly what has happened at Real Madrid in recent years. You've seen Camacho, Del Bosque, Pellegrini, Mourinho, Ancelotti... It's not easy to be the coach of Real Madrid. You have to do everything perfectly. If something goes wrong or they, if the president thinks something is wrong then you're in trouble," confessed Rafael Benitez on BT Sport network.

"I think we were doing a good job, we were improving as we completed the season. The normal thing is to wait to evolve, but there was no patience. I think we did very well, but the fans got a little nervous, the president got a little nervous, and they opted to change the coach," added Rafa Benitez.

In addition, Rafa Benitez continued talking about Florentino Perez. "My assistant Fabio Pecchia said 'you have constant pressure from the president'. He (Florentino Perez) was around. He talked to the players, he talked to the press... It wasn't easy for a coach to see the president talking to the players and the press every day, especially when you have trained in England and you have that experience," confessed the former Real Madrid coach.

BARCELONA VS. REAL MADRID

Finally, Rafael Benitez referred to the historic battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona. "The key is to be consistent. To win the League you have to be consistent. You have to fight against Barcelona, ​​which has a style and a model of football. Real Madrid changes coach every year and has to start over. That is the reason why Madrid has won one League out of the last seven, Barcelona five and Atletico de Madrid one. Barcelona has been in six finals in the last eight years and has won double or more than double the number of titles that Real Madrid has since the president (Florentino Perez) is there," he concluded.
