Florentino Pérez will continue as president of Real Madrid after winning their first elections in 20 years, paving the way for his plans to sell 5% of the club.
Pérez, who has been president for 23 years across two spells – first between 2000 and 2006 and then since 2009, winning the past five elections unopposed – polled 65%. The 37-year-old challenger, Enrique Riquelme, lost with 35% after a total of 33,555 members exercised their right to vote.
