"The 'galácticos' bored Di Stéfano"

Arrigo Sacchi, who was sporting director of Real Madrid, assured that the mythical ex-player and honorary president was bored by that team's play.

The spell of the 'galácticos' was unforgettable for Real Madrid. Even though they might not have won any more titles, those players spread panic wherever they played.

But not everyone was delighted with them. Not even at Real Madrid. Arrigo Sacchi, who was sporting director of Madrid, spoke about Alfredo Di Stéfano's thoughts on that team.

"It was like everyone was playing solos in an orchestra," said the Italian on 'Sky Sport'.

"At Madrid, Beckham, Raul, Ronaldo, Zidane, and Figo were signed, but the then honorary president Alfredo Di Stefano never saw the games until the end, because he was bored," said Sacchi, who confessed that the Spanish-Argentinean preferred a team game and not that each one led the war on their own.
