He told me the same thing he told me back in 2001: 'I got it, president.' The players will go to Cibeles tonight to celebrate."Every season is difficult. We fought right until the final whistle. The Champions League is in Madrid's DNA. It is the most important competition for us." On Ronaldo he added: "The whole world knows that I want Cristiano to stay at Madrid for the rest of his life. He is one of the pillars of this club."Atletico were beaten in the European Cup final for the third time in their history, but Perez had words of encouragement for Real's fierce rivals. "Atletico Madrid have shown over the past few years that they are at a very high level," he added."Someday they will win the Champions.</blockquote>
