6 big stars who didn't do well at Real Madrid

1. Michael Owen

The great English striker Michael Owen wore the shirt of Real Madrid in the 2004/2005 season. He arrived in Spain surrounded by a lot of expectations but remained on the team for only one season. There were 45 games and 16 goals scored.

 

2. Arjen Robben

Robben wore the shirt of Real Madrid for two seasons: 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. The athlete, however, did not stand out as expected and ended up leaving the team to German football. In all, he played 65 matches and scored 13 goals for the Spanish team.

 

3. Kaka

The great Brazilian midfielder Kaká arrived at Real Madrid with great status in the 2009/2010 season. The athlete remained in the team until the year 2013, but never established himself as expected. In his passing he had 120 games played and 29 goals scored.

 

4. Gareth Bale

Bale is still a Real Madrid player. He joined the team in the 2013/2014 season. His start with the team's shirt was very good, which further increased the expectation on the athlete. Meanwhile, Bale fell in income and is currently experiencing a turbulent phase at Real.

 

5. James Rodríguez

James sparked the interest of Real after standing out with the shirts of Porto and Monaco and, especially, after the 2014 World Cup, a competition in which he was top scorer and author of the most beautiful goal. However, it did not yield what was expected with the Madrid shirt.

 

6. Wesley Sneijder

Sneijder arrived at Real Madrid in the 2007/2008 season, surrounded by great expectations, the result of the athlete's great phase with the Ajax shirt. Sneijder ended up not repeating the good performances in Spanish lands. In total, he played 66 games and scored 11 goals.
