History

Historical Context

After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for the 2009-10 season, the club’s campaign set a spending benchmark of €261 million, scored 102 league goals and amassed a record 96 points for a runner-up. That season’s financial scale and on-field output sparked a transfer-price surge, a trend later echoed by Liverpool’s 97-point title in 2018-19.
