The Real Madrid president berated the squad for their attitude; Ramos replied blaming Pérez for the disastrous season.
Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League provoked a furious row in the dressing room at the Bernabéu between club president Florentino Pérez and captain Sergio Ramos, who had missed the game after being suspended for forcing a yellow card.
Pérez angry with Real Madrid players
Florentino was waiting for the players after the match and berated them for their attitude during the game. The president continued for several minutes, attacking the players for their lack of dedication and excessive time off, going as far as to use the term "disgraceful".
At that point Ramos responded, accusing Pérez and his board of poor planning and blaming them for the disastrous season. "Pay me up and I'll go" the captain ended up saying in the heat of the debate. The entire squad witnessed the row.
Real Madrid board met to discuss next steps
Afterwards, the president met with his board in the Bernabéu until two in the morning, discussing the various options available, including directly sacking Santiago Solari and bringing in Mourinho, who it's well known has a terrible relationship with Ramos. The president and the board had serious divisions of opinion on the next steps to take, meaning no decision was taken at the time, although one could be coming in the next few hours.
