And Perez, talking to Spanish television, made a point of remembering the 16 lives lost when IS militants carried out a deadly attack on a Real Madrid supporters club in the north of the war-torn state.

"I would like to dedicate this cup to our fans in Iraq," said Perez.

Real Madrid had previously sent their condolences in the aftermath of the attack.

A statement read: “Real Madrid profoundly laments the terrible attack today in Iraq which has ended the life of 16 members of a Madrid fan club and that injured more than 20.

“The club expresses its total sadness and offers its thoughts and condolences to the families and friends of the victims.

“Real Madrid extends its solidarity to the people of Iraq, that suffers the injustice of extremist violence.

“Football and sports will always be places of meeting, harmony and peace which no savage terrorism will overcome.

“Madrid fans around the world weep today for its fans, who will never be forgotten.”

He wrote: "Today Madridismo across the whole world cries for its supporters, who shall never be forgotten. RIP"

La Liga president Javier Tebas added: "Shocked by the attack against a Real Madrid supporters club in Iraq. Terrorism attacking football. We are with the victims and their families.

"Football is a target for terror. We were going to travel to Iraq this month, but it was postponed for security reasons. We will return to support the Iraqi people."
