Historical Context

After Florentino Pérez won the July 2000 presidential vote on a promise to bring Luís Figo from Barcelona for a record €60 million, he cleared Real Madrid’s €270 million debt and launched the first Galáctico era, signing Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham. His 2024 re-election with 65 percent backing and a €150 million Galáctico pledge echoes that 2000 strategy.
