Real Madrid are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the history of football, crowned European champions a record 14 times.

Real previously adopted a 'Galactico' policy under president Florentino Perez, which involved attempting to sign the very best players in European football, no matter the price, and regardless if they'd suit the current coach's playing style or not.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, this transfer policy saw the likes of Ronaldo, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane arrive at the Bernaceu, while Cristiano Ronaldo led Perez's second revolution after he returned for a second spell as president.

Real have since won three Champions Leagues in a row under Zidane's management - and another under Carlo Ancelotti. In recent years, they are increasingly scouting players from Brazil like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo instead of having to pay top dollar for them later. They did, however, break the club record for Jude Bellingham in the summer of 2023.
