If Real played in the EPL, they would win the title in their very good years, but if they have bad years where they would ordinarily finish second or third in Laliga, that will see them finishing fourth and fifth in the EPL. United competition is much more difficult and plentiful. They can no longer cherry pick the best players in the league the way Bayern does. They have money but it does not mean much when 4 other clubs could spend as much. Real may be wealthy but they won't be happy to overspend on rivals players whose clubs don't just want or need to sell. Real may typically get the best players all over the world, but even today, they don't have the best single player in every position. Leadership at all levels in the club becomes like the biggest differential amongst the biggest clubs in England. All of them have rich owners and they make the most money in Europe.

Real Madrid deliberately targeted British players as they rightly recognised that if they could break the link of British players eyeing moves to the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool then they could simultaneously improve their own clubs and weaken their biggest competition. Real Madrid was absolutely not the draw in the world of football for many years until the 21st century (granted they had success in the 1960s). They were just another club until they built the marketing themed galacticos. Football is perception in many ways. Go back 30 years and everyone wanted to play in Italy. Ultimately players will go where they can maximise their appeal, financial opportunities and to progress on the pitch.

Cruyffs Barcelona and La Coruna competed more often for the tiltel than Real Madrid did. Also on European level Barcelona was ahead.

Simon is one of the few deluded United fans that thinks their club is bigger than Real Madrid. Let me tell you, they’re not bigger than Barcelona or Bayern. And titles wise, AC Milan is bigger too.

The more he talked, the more he convinced himself that going abroad was indeed better…..even though he can’t outright say it 🤔🧐😂

Maradona wanted to play for a team where he related too, and fans loved him He would never of got that at real madrid Barcelona also did not give maradona what he wanted, ie fans who loved him Gray linekar said barcelona fans are like opera fans, meaning you as a player have to please them before the crowd applauds the players. The fact that maradona picked napoli, showed that real madrid, and barcelona was not for maradona Real madrid fans are not fans like people think fans are, and if your a player who needs the fans to love you do not goto such a club They expect the players to perform at such a team.

If Madrid were to be based in England

Real and Barca are bigger clubs than Utd.

Real Madrid are by far the biggest club in the world by far.

The penny has finally dropped.

Real Madrid are a multiple bigger than United. Madrid have it all and more

It might be hard to accept, even for big European clubs, but Real Madrid is just in a different league. No Liverpool, no Bayern, no Barca, no Milan come close to the magic and attraction that Real Madrid has. And these were just the clubs that have won five or more Champions League trophies. There are others who are big fishes on domestic level, like Juventus, Inter and Manchester United but with all due respect they are small, compared to Real Madrid in terms of international trophies, history and reputation. So imagine being a young player like Bellingham and Real Madrid is interested in signing you. Why are they willing to spend a release fee of 100m and an eigth digit salary for you? They think you are the right player to win them trophies and to continue their legacy. How can you turn such an offer down? You don't know if that door will ever open again if you don't take the chance and walk through it now. So, yes, of course you take this chance, especially when you see what they are doing with their team, having lots of young and immensely talented players who already won the Champions League. That's the prize you want to win. That Real Madrid team will just get better over the next few years and when you join them you have a good chance of winning La Liga and Champions League more than once, maybe becoming a legend of that club, of the biggest club. What more can you expect? Why should you choose another club over Real Madrid, especially Manchester United which in recent years has a record of not improving players but making them worse? As a young player you want to further develop your skills and your career, not finish it by becoming mediocre.

Varane and Casemiro did that because they now earn more money than before. But are they happy? Have their careers developed in the way they hoped?
