After arriving back in Madrid in the early hours of Monday morning, the official celebrations of Real Madrid's LaLiga triumph have begun with Florentino Perez suggesting that Zinedine Zidane is now the best coach in the world.

After enjoying some early morning karaoke at Cibeles, the squad and staff members paid a visit to the Madrid City Council in what is set to be the first official stop on a day of celebrations in the Spanish capital.

As the visit progressed and the tradition of exchanging gifts was complete, the club president made a passionate speech about the club's triumph in which he declared Zidane as the best coach in the world.

"Zizou is one of the symbols of our history, thank you for everything you have given to us, you were the best player in the world and now you are simply the best coach in the world," he explained.

Los Blancos' focus now turns to Cardiff with the Champions League final against Juventus providing the French coach with the opportunity to become the first person to retain the famous European Cup since Arrigo Sacchi.

The importance of this tie is not lost on Perez and he made clear his desire to see the club lift the trophy for the third time in five years.

"This team has demonstrated the values of the club, we dream of returning here on June 4 and I know that this group of coaches and players will give everything to win the double," he continued.

Barcelona's inconsistencies were a problem throughout the campaign but there was still just three points separating them from Los Blancos by the time the season ended and the 70-year-old suggested that the team had emerged victorious from the toughest league in the world.

"We have won the most difficult and competitive league in the world with a lot of effort and humility, these players are already part of the history of this club and there is a great spirit amongst the group," he said.

Whilst much of the afternoon's proceedings were led by Perez there was time for the French coach to say a few words as he pointed out his favourite moment of a successful domestic campaign.

"I enjoyed he last game, it was the decisive match and we played very well," Zidane noted.

A replica league trophy was handed to Manuela Carmena, the current Mayor of Madrid, before the squad prepared for their next stop on Monday's celebratory tour of the city.
