#3 Luís Figo - 2000
After the golden years of the 1950s when the club had 3 Ballon d'Or winners, there was long duration when Real Madrid could not win the award for 4 long decades. The 2000 Ballon d'Or solved that desperation with the Portuguese legend winning it that year.
Luis Figo was bought by Real Madrid in 2000 for a record fee from Barcelona and literally stole the Ballon d'Or trophy with that transfer. He went on to represent 164 appearances for Real Madrid and scored 38 goals during that phase.
His playmaking abilities were second to none and are still revered by many as one of the best footballers to throng the field.
His transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid was one of the most controversial ones and the famous El Classico match at Camp Nou that followed with Figo in Real Madrid shirt would go down in the football history as one of the fiercest rivalry moments in football between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
