Celta Vigo's visit to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday not only heralds the second Zinedine Zidane era in the dugout, but it will also be Florentino Perez's 900th match as president of the club.
In two spells at the helm of the Spanish giants, Perez has amassed 900 fixtures in all competitions, with his legacy one of the utmost success, particularly in European competition.
Of these matches, 584 have come in LaLiga Santander, 95 in the Copa del Rey and 12 in the Supercopa de Espana.
Of the continental fixtures, eight have been in the Club World Cup, two in the Intercontinental Cup, six in the UEFA Super Cup and a grand total of 192 in the Champions League.
Perez first took charge of the club's affairs on July of 2000, winning an election against the odds following the Champions League triumph under Lorenzo Sanz's stewardship.
The vast majority of support he received from supporters of Los Merengues made all the difference, and his management style steered the club into a totally new, commercially spectacular era.
He completely changed the image and economic situation of Real Madrid, taking the club back to the very top with his pursuit of world-renowned stars and coaches.
Of course, it must be appreciated that the overall fiscal value of football has vastly increased generally since 2000, however the 2018 accounts show the worth of the work done by Perez with Los Blancos announcing an income of almost 800 million euros for the calendar year.
Throughout the course of Perez's two spells as president, the club has won 41 titles across both football and basketball.
In his first era, he won seven of the 24 football titles, whilst the rest have come since he returned in 2009.

Fiorentino Perez is one of the best presidents ever. Despite his stupid signings and sacking of coaches, he normally creates a good relationship with coaches that has a big pat in the assistance of Madrid's trophies for instance José mourinho and zinedine zidane. That makes him the most popular president in club football

he should thank ronaldo for choosing real Madrid... if not it would have been a disaster. Barca also tried to sign him from man united in 2008.
