David Beckham's stint at Real Madrid was part of an armada of the superstars who came to be known as the Galacticos. Even in a team boasting of deadball specialists like Zidane, Figo and Roberto Carlos, Beckham made a name for himself for occasionally delivering one from the top drawer.

His first free-kick for the club came against Malaga when he curled a ball and befuddled the keeper while doing so. Very reminiscent of his last goal for United which he scored against Everton, and wouldn’t you know, it was also a free-kick.

Though his romance with the Spanish giants didn’t last long and he couldn’t deliver any European success, his free-kicks helped Real in matches when they were trailing.
