Real Madrid president Perez fires back after claims he was secretly recorded calling Casillas & Raul 'frauds'

The Santiago Bernabeu chief has attempted to clarify the comments he made in a leaked audio file that was originally recorded 15 years ago

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has responded to claims that he was secretly recorded calling Iker Casillas and Raul 'frauds'.

Perez became Real president for the first time back in July 2000, and oversaw a stellar six-year spell that saw the team win two La Liga titles and the Champions League before announcing his resignation.

A leaked audio file has now been published during which the 74-year-old, who returned to Santiago Bernabeu for a second term in 2009, can allegedly be heard placing some of the blame for his original exit at the feet of two legendary Blancos players.
