Now i know it may seem something like a galacticos era 2.0, however I‘d rather not call them that. They are still very very young and for sure they have great talent but thats it. I just think it would put them immensly under pressure to call them galacticos since the og galacticos with the likes of ronaldo zidane beckham and so on are still way above their legaue. They were all proven worldstars once they played at madrid. However bellingham and co. still need to prevail. Just makes it a lot harder for them in my opinion. Let them develop their own era! Dont call them galacticos
This new generation isn't on the Galácticos model. Yes, they're great young players with huge potential and already performing and delivering. But the Galácticos model was to sign a ready-made superstar each summer. Figo was awarded the 2000 Ballon d'Or award after signing for Madrid, but he was already a star, Barça captain - although Zidane should probably have received the 2000 award after his phenomenal performances at the European Championship. Zidane and Ronaldo Nazário followed, and they were already world champions and Ballon d'Or winners. Beckham never won the Ballon d'Or but was on the podium, I think twice. Michael Owen signed for a much lower fee but he had received a Ballon d'Or already. Robinho was a rising star, not quite into his peak (which never came) but already a very good player and had produced in Brazil. Galácticos 2.0... transfer record broken twice in 2009. First for Kaká the previous Ballon d'Or winner. Then for CR7 the Ballon d'Or holder... both players had won the Champions League too in their Ballon d'Or years, 07 and 08 respectively. Xabi Alonso was a great midfielder, and Benzema was the best young striker in the world. Benzema didn't really get his moment as the exciting new striker because his move was in the shadows of Ronaldo and Kaká. Plus Raúl and Higuaín were there already. Van Nistelrooy too, but he left not long after. This 3rd era aren't ready-made stars, although it's working out like that with Bellingham. They are absolutely top young players with high potential
CR7's goal record at Madrid is extraordinary, and he was their biggest commercial asset. But Ramos overlapped the two eras, and won 5 la liga titles yo Ronaldo's 2. Benzema stayed after CR7, taking his la liga medals to 4 and winning a 5th Champions League. Benzema was slightly unlucky to be in the shadow of CR7... his goal rate shot up after Ronaldo left, and he received the Ballon d'Or. Benzema is the 2nd highest scorer in Madrid's history. Thinking about how the team was designed for Ronaldo to be the top scorer for that first 9 years, and Benzema's goal rate hugely increased after Ronaldo left... if CR7 hadn't been there, Benzema would be way out on his own at the top. Modrić has also been there for all of their CL triumphs.
