#3 Angel Di Maria
Angel Di Maria was a breath of fresh air at Real Madrid, running past defenders with absurd ease. The Argentine was one of the chief orchestrators for Los Blancos who played a pivotal role in their La Decima triumph in 2014.
Di Maria racked up 36 goals and 85 assists in his four seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, which speaks volumes about his time at the club. However, he made an exit from Real Madrid to become a Red Devil by joining Manchester United.
Di Maria was honored with the iconic #7 jersey at United but he was unable to find his feet at England. In his solitary season with the Red Devils, he went on to score four goals and registered 12 assists before opting for a move to PSG.
Di Maria has turned his career around since his dismal stint at Old Trafford and remains a top player for PSG. However, the 33-year old never really climbed the heights he achieved at Real Madrid with stars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe hogging the limelight.
#2 Mesut Ozil
Mesut Ozil, one of the best creators of the last decade, enjoyed his best life at Real Madrid. The arrival of the German playmaker helped the Galacticos challenge Barcelona under Jose Mourinho's guidance.
Ozil helped Real Madrid break the record number of goals scored on their way to a domestic double in the 2011-22 season. The midfielder was the best in the business when it came to chance creation, racking up 27 goals and 80 assists during his three-year stint in Spain.
Following his move to Arsenal, Ozil was influential for the Gunners and led them to numerous cup titles over the years. Despite some terrific campaigns, Ozil has become a shadow of the player he was at Real Madrid.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo
Boasting a mammoth tally of 451 goals in just 438 games with Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction. The Portuguese icon is Madrid's all-time top scorer, amassing unmatchable honors and breaking a plethora of records during his nine-year stint at the club.
Ronaldo's service at Real Madrid is unmatchable. He guided them to three consecutive Champions League titles, among other notable accolades. In addition to being the top goalscorer, the 36-year old also managed to win four Ballon d'Or titles during his nine-year stint at the club.
Ronaldo joined Juventus in a big money transfer from Real Madrid in 2018. Despite scoring 101 goals in 134 matches for the Bianconeri, he was criticized repeatedly by the media for failing to help Juventus win the Champions League. Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the summer, but has endured tough times so far in this campaign.
