Undoubtedly the player who redefined Real Madrid’s legacy as one of the greatest club teams in the world, Di Stefano along with Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly among the best Real Madrid players of all time.

Not many people know that Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano had initially signed for Barcelona in the year 1953 after a dispute over his signature with Madrid. The Spanish federation came up with a ludicrous solution where Di Stefano would play alternate seasons at both clubs, however, Barcelona withdrew from the agreement in protest leaving Di Stefano free to sign for their great rivals Real Madrid.

Although his move might be controversial, there is no denying the huge impact he had during his time at Los Blancos. Di Stefano scored an incredible 308 goals in 396 appearances for Real Madrid and won an amazing amount of trophies. Di Stefano is also the only player to score in 5 European Cup finals.

8 La Liga titles, 5 European Cups, 1 Copa Del Rey and 1 Intercontinental cup won during Di Stefano’s time show what a huge impact the Argentine had. A true Real Madrid icon, Di Stefano is not only the best foreign payer to ever play for Madrid, he is also the greatest Real Madrid player of all time.
