Cambiasso: I didn't fit in at Madrid because I wasn't a galactico

The midfielder remembers Los Blancos fondly but felt he did not fit in among Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo and David Beckham

Esteban Cambiasso said he did not fit at Real Madrid because he was not a galactico, though he did enjoy his time in the Spanish capital.

Cambiasso moved to Madrid as a 15-year-old in 1996 and later returned to the club to win La Liga, the UEFA Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup and Supercopa de Espana, before departing for Inter in 2004.

The 36-year-old Argentine midfielder – now playing for Olympiacos – remembers his time at Madrid fondly but felt he did not fit in among the likes of Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo and David Beckham.
