The Blancos chief chose his words carefully as he responded to the Barcelona defender's criticism of the capital club's "values"
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has issued a pointed response to criticism of the club from Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
Pique caused a storm this week when he hit out at the European champions for their "values" and alleged influence from the Madrid "box seats" over the treatment of Lionel Messi and Neymar in their ongoing legal cases with Spanish financial authorities.
Perez, speaking at a sponsor's event on Thursday, pointed to Madrid's sporting success as a way of responding.
