Real Madrid: The Success and Failure of the Galacticos Era

When Florentino Perez won the Real Madrid elections in the summer of 2000 while promising to bring Luis Figo from Barcelona, a new era had begun.
Was it a story of success in transforming a club into a global brand?
Or was it a story of failure in how to build a balanced team to compete on the field?
Did the business ambitions exceed the footballing goals?
This is the story of the success and failure of the Galacticos era.

Zidane once compared the sale of makelele and purchase of Beckham as to "why would you put another layer of gold on your Bentley, if you just sold the engine"

[@lucashenderson2775]

Look at what Chelsea did when they got Makelele and then Mourinho the next year. Yet Florentino thought he could easily be replaced.

[@20fadhilRevolution]

Makelele was more like the thing that keep the team balanced and safe from any possibility of things gone terribly wrong. They can still win with Ronaldo and Zidane...providing they didn't get injured or went off form. Ronaldo was injury prone and out of shape, and Zidane had dry spells during his twilight years. That Madrid team can win and lose against the same team in 4-1 due to how bad the defensive midfield and central defenders were.

Why 2009-2018? The only thing defining that period each year is ronaldo, but the club itself has changed drastically - in style, management, players. There's nothing interesting defining the club during those years. 2009-2013 or 2014-2018 would make much more sense and would be more enjoyable.

You're either clueless or just started supporting madrid when ronaldo arrived and stopped as soon as he left.

The interesting thing - if Makelele and had stayed to play with Beckham, Real would have been unbeatable. This is because Beckham's workrate was always actually his hidden quality. In addition to his skill on the ball, he was defensively astute and so hardworking that he was played in the center on many occasions and was very able to cover for Madrid's deficiencies in the middle (of course not up to Makelele level). However, this took away some of the creative part of his game at Madrid. He and Makelele would have given Madrid a solid and creative core.

I remember this history very well. The good thing is that Florentino has learned from his mistakes in recent years. Gaining market by performance and trophies is much solid than stars collecting (ongoing eg: PSG?), Barca 2009-2016 contributed in this change in Real Madrid, the competition between them was the best (Barcelona were beter) but the fan base grew massively for both teams. Another fact, with bad quality in defense, that Galacticos policy made the mission even harder for the club, because every team they faced back then had a huge motivation to beat Real Madrid. Thanks to legend and the true hero of that era: Iker Casillas.
