Top 10 greatest Real Madrid midfielders of all time

#7: Clarence Seedorf

Clarence Seedorf is the only player to win Champions League with three different clubs

Clarence Seedorf joined Real Madrid in a £7.74 million deal in 1996. The swarthy Dutchman was an absolute tank in his playing days, with strength being his primary weapon against opponents.

Seedorf was also blessed in terms of pace, good vision and an incredible stamina. Deployed as a playmaker in the centre, Seedorf's versatility enabled him to play as a box-to-box midfielder and also as a winger. His long-distance goals were a treat to watch.

Apart from being a pivotal player for Madrid in the 90s, Seedorf is also the most decorated Champions League player in the history of the game. He remains the only player to win the competition with three different clubs. The Dutchman won it for the Los Blancos in the 1997-98 season.

Seedorf scored 20 goals in 159 appearances for the club, winning 5 trophies in a three-year spell.
