Initially expected to transfer to Barcelona, Beckham ended up joining Real Madrid’s Galacticos team playing alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane, the Brazilian Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos. Although the first Galacticos era was not as successful as one would expect, Beckham had a decent career at the Spanish club and even led the assists table in the La Liga for the 2005/06 season.

Beckham’s four-year stay at Madrid helped the capital club commercially given the former’s global recognition. However, a dispute between player and then manager, Fabio Capello, led to Beckham signing for his next club mid-season in January.

Despite Capello softening his stance and Madrid trying to untie the deal with Beckham’s new club at the end of the season, the Englishman’s time at the club came to an end in 2007.
