Ligue 1 billionaire team PSG will host another traditional rich real Madrid at home on Tuesday night, and the two teams have traded a lot in recent years, and now PSG has several former Real Madrid soldiers such as Di Maria, Kyrol Navas, Ramos, Saravia, Ashraf Hakimi and so on. However, in addition to this class of active players, there are many famous players and legends who have played in both teams.
Anelka
"Prodigal Son" Anelka has played for a number of big teams in his career, playing four teams in the Premier League BIG 6 alone (Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City). In 1999, he moved from Arsenal to Real Madrid for £22.3 million (then a sky-high price), but did not get many opportunities at the star-studded Bernabeu. A season later, he moved to PSG for a similar transfer fee to restart his career in Ligue 1. At PSG, he played 56 games for the team and scored 18 goals.
Las Diarra
Lassana Diarra is an underrated power defender who has played for Arsenal, Portsmouth and other teams after becoming famous at Chelsea, and moved to Real Madrid in 2009, is the team's unsung hero, who has always been deeply respected by Mourinho. Las Diarra played more than three seasons at Real Madrid, playing 117 games for the team, and his difficult and sweeping power has always been praised. In January 2013, he began to fade out of the mainstream european arena, transferring to the Emerging Rich Team anzhi of the Russian Super League, and then played moscow Lokomotiv, Marseille, and West Asian team Al Jazira; in January 2018, he went to PSG as a free agent, playing for the team in a total of 18 games in one and a half seasons, and his performance was well received.
Beckham
Beckham's Real Madrid career is believed to be needless to say, in 2003-07, the former England captain was one of the iconic figures of Real Madrid, and also won the 2006-07 La Liga title for the team. However, after 2007, he left Real Madrid and moved to the LOS Angeles Galaxy, where he twice lent to Milan. In 2012, when fans thought David Beckham was about to retire, he unexpectedly signed a short contract with PSG, played for the team for half a season, and sold countless jerseys for PSG.
Makelele
French legendary back Claude Makelele rose to fame at Real Madrid and in 2000-03 he was a reliable barrier behind Zidane and Figo, bringing them two La Liga and a Champions League title. But in order to accommodate Beckham, Florentino Pérez made the most regrettable decision of his life in 2003, which was to sell him to Chelsea for £16.8 million. After five very successful seasons at Chelsea, Makelele left Stamford Bridge in 2008 when he chose to return to Ligue 1 at the age of 35 to play for PSG, which was still not rich at the time. At PSG, Makelele injected experience into the team, winning the French Cup in 2009-10, after which he joined Ancelotti's coaching staff and became an assistant coach at PSG.
Heinze
Before Manchester United became famous, Gabriel Heinze also made his mark on PSG. The Argentine name will be transferred to PSG from Real Valladolid in 2001 and will play a total of 105 games for the team. This brought him to the attention of Manchester United, impressing Ferguson to take him under his wing for £6.9 million. After three successful seasons, Heinze moved to Real Madrid in 2007, becoming the third player in history to be overtaken by Manchester United.
