14 – Xabi Alonso

Though Xabi Alonso played for just 5 seasons at Real Madrid, he was very much loved by the Bernabeu. He was the perfect ‘Regista’ born straight out of the textbook, and his long passing ability was definitely this standout trait. Part of Spain’s ‘Golden generation’, he was often considered as one of the best in his generation.

He was a very crucial player in Jose Mourinho’s centurions and played a key role in winning the La Decima. If there is one moment to describe his Madridismo, I would choose the moment during the La Decima final, where he jumped onto the pitch from the stand and came running to celebrate with his on-field teammates after Gareth Bale’s winning goal.

15 – Michael Laudrup

Michael Laudrup spent just two seasons at Real Madrid. but his magical abilities make him the best player ever to play with number 15 on his back. His ability to create chances from absolutely nothing was truly amazing.

He was signed from FC Barcelona (Yes, you read it right!) in 1994. He had won 4 consecutive league titles with FC Barcelona until 1994, but he played a crucial role in leading Real Madrid to the League title in 1995, and thus ended the domination of his former club.
