10 greatest Real Madrid players of all time

#4 Ferenc Puskas

Blessed with a thunderous left foot and superb positioning skills, Ferenc Puskas is easily one of the greatest finishers to ever play the game. He was the lynchpin of the all-conquering “Magical Magyars” and led the Hungary team to unprecedented success.

During the second half of his career, Puskas formed a deadly combination with the great Alfredo Di Stefano during his stint at Real Madrid as they the duo tore up defences and guided the Los Blancos to five straight league titles and three European Cups.

The legendary Hungarian striker was La Liga’s top scorer for 4 seasons in a row. His phenomenal goals scoring prowess can be seen from the fact that he scored an astonishing 242 goals from 262 games.

Puskas played a major role in establishing Real Madrid as a European Superpower and is undoubtedly one of the greatest strikers of all time.
