#1 Arjen Robben
After stints with local clubs Groningen (2000–2002), PSV (2002–2004), and English club Chelsea (2004–2007), the Dutchman made a move to the Spanish giants in August 2007 for €35 million. Arjen Robben played an important role in many of Real Madrid's matches. The 2008-09 season for particularly fruitful for the midfielder as he appeared for the Los Blancos 35 times and scored 8 goals. However, with players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Florentino Perez arriving, his time at Marid was limited. The 34-year-old even said that he was 'forced' to leave the club when Bayern Munich eventually signed him for €25 million in 2009.
In retrospect, it seems like it was a great decision as Robben has prospered with the German giants. Robben has scored 98 times for The Bavarians in his 197 appearances. The Bedum-born player has won multiple accolades with the clubs he has been associated with, but the most with Bayern Munich – the club he still plays for. Predominantly a left-footed player, Robben can wreak havoc for the oppositions' defences when he makes runs down the right flank and puts in pinpoint crosses. To add to this, he also has blistering speed and exceptional dribbling ability.
Robben was a pivotal part of the national team as well and has 37 goals in 96 appearances for them. He has 7 Bundesliga titles, 1 LaLiga, 1 UEFA Champions League, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 2 Premier Leagues, 1 FA Cup, 1 Eredivisie title. In short, Robben is an extremely decorated player. Even though he is nursing an injury at the present moment, he will soon be back on the field for Bayern Munich and we can only expect him to keep delivering the goods for them (or any club he plays for) at least for another couple of years.
Juanfran (Atletico Madrid), Angel Di Maria (PSG), Gonzalo Higuain (on loan at Milan from Juventus), Raul Albiol (Napoli) are some of the other notable ex-Real Madrid players who are still doing well for their current clubs.
