Real Madrid have been famed for building a star studded team, with some of the best players in the world.

The early 2000s witnessed a Real Madrid side that had a world-class team known as the Galacticos. The likes of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario, Roberto Carlos, David Beckham were all part of that Real Madrid side.

Meanwhile, La Liga president Javier Tebas is keen on not seeing that era return, as he wants clubs to be financially responsible.

Speaking at the Sports and Business Forum in London earlier this week, he said:

“I’m not jealous of the English Premier League [in terms of its financial situation]. At a commercial level it is the best product in the world.

“For La Liga, it is very difficult to be at the same level because of the differences between the two countries.

“I neither miss Galacticos era nor want it to happen again.

“I don’t want Real Madrid to buy whatever they want easily. We have to adapt to the situation of the industry today. We want a balanced competition.”
