Real Madrid is used to playing meaningful international games in the spring. One of the world’s true powerhouses, the Spain-based club is almost unmatched in prowess. They’re also routinely stacked with some of the world’s finest stars.
Some of the brighter recent names to have worn the Spanish royal crown on their uniform: Cristiano Ronaldo. Zinedine Zidane. Sergio Ramos. Gareth Bale. Iker Casillas.
After Real Madrid’s (+277 underdogs coming in) crushing 3-1 blowout of Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, one man is quickly making a case to be another modern legend.
