Cristiano Ronaldo cemented a legacy during his time in Spain, becoming Real Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer with an impressive 450 goals in just 438 appearances across all competitions.

Having joined the Merengue from Manchester United for a then record-breaking €94 million move in the summer of 2009, Ronaldo went on to win four Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, two LaLiga titles, two Copas del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups during his time in Madrid.

David Beckham, on the other hand, recorded 20 goals and 51 assists in 159 games on a Real Madrid uniform in four seasons at the club. His trophy haul isn’t that impressive compared to Ronaldo’s, as Becks only lifted a LaLiga and a Spanish Super Cup at the Bernabeu. However, he’s still one of the most emblematic players to don their shirt this century.
