I watched every Real Madrid game I could during that time, Owen was class and seemed to score every time he played

He played like 46 games for Real scoring in the classico and having the best goals to minutes record in the league, he done good if not great over their

Owen did good in Real Madrid. As a substitute he scored more goals than fan favorite, Raul. Only Ronaldo was better. Owen's stint in Madrid is underrated and theories that Real destroyed him are false. His downfall began when he moved to Newcastle and of course injuries.

@@Ray29292 I'm from Italy and you saying Owen didn't deserve the ballon d'or is just laughable. Owen was a very very good player who unlike 99.99% of English players actually proved himself at league, continental and international levels. He was a player who hit the ground running the moment he was given the opportunity despite his tender age, and excelled in that season when Liverpool won 3 cups. I can only assume you didn't see him play. For sure the English league was not as strong as it is today but he would be scoring even more goals if he was playing today.

Anyone that knocks this guy didn't see him between 17-20 years old. Won the balon dor by winning 3 trophies at Liverpool that year, won the fa cup by himself, scored a hatrick vs Germany in Munich. Michael owen was unstoppable that year , and he had injuries at 21/22 that took his main asset away from him, his pace never the same player even though was still a very good goalscorer

He was half the player he used to be by the time he left Liverpool, no different to Torres. Hence why he went for £8m instead of £30m+ which he would have done a few years earlier. Also the game changed completely in the mid 00s, striker who ran in behind basically went out of fashion for the lone centre forward with two wingers like Robben or Messi in the frontline. Injuries played a big part but they're not the only factor.
