Real Madrid's fans have been established as the most demanding set of fans in the world, not minding booing their own players and legends if they feel their demands are not being met.

Not only do they want to see their team win every match, every week and every trophy on offer, they also want to do so playing attractive football at the same time, with the manifestation of this being when the club decided to part ways with legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello for playing 'boring football' despite leading the club to end its three year trophyless run when he guided them to the La Liga crown in 2007.

A major criticism of current manager Julen Lopetegui has been that he sets his side up to be too cautious and pragmatic, playing not to lose rather than to win with the result being that the football played is dour and uninspiring which is unacceptable at the Bernabeu.

In this regard, Wenger would also be a perfect fit, as he has established a history of sticking to aesthetic possession-based football even when his sides are losing.

Arsenal won many admirers for their style of play under Wenger, and his philosophy of playing attractive football is one which would see him become an instant hit with the Real Madrid faithful.
