Real Madrid have released an official statement in response to Mauricio Pochettino's claims, insisting the club have never received a request to accommodate Tottenham Hotspur in the facilities of Ciudad Real Madrid. 

In a recent interview, Pochettino claimed that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had denied his request to let Spurs stay at the facilities of Los Blancos' training centre ahead of the Champions League final.
 



The Argentinian also joked that Perez had offered to let him stay if he ever decided to coach the Spanish giants.

The 13-time European champions have not received Pochettino's words well and have called out the Tottenham manager's comments in an official statement. 
 


The statement published on Real Madrid's official website read: "Real Madrid CF want to make clear that is is not true that this request occurred. Our club has always shown its absolute availability to meet all the requests made by UEFA, the Spanish Football Federation, Club Atletico de Madrid, Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur."



It added: "All requests submitted to Real Madrid have referred only and exclusively to the use of the training camps of the Ciudad Real Madrid and its changing rooms. And all of them have been granted by our club.

"Real Madrid C. F. also want to emphasise that the accommodation of the finalist teams of the Champions League are assigned by UEFA following criteria of organisation and security.

"And that at no time has our club received a request that these teams could be accommodated in the facilities of Ciudad Real Madrid."

Tottenham are scheduled to train at Madrid's training facility in Valdebebas on Thursday, 30th May and Friday, 31st May. 

Their opponents Liverpool, who are currently training in Marbella, are set to train in Madrid on Saturday morning, 1st June.
