Beckham, Bale, Bellingham – Trent adds to list of British players to join Madrid

Here, the PA news agency looks at the Spanish giants' previous high-profile British signings. Laurie Cunningham (1979-84) England winger Cunningham lit up the Bernabeu after his move from West Brom (PA) The winger became the first British professional player to move to the Bernabeu after Los Blancos agreed a £950,000 deal with West Brom in 1979. The Londoner helped the side to a league and cup double in his first season but that proved the peak as injuries blighted the remainder of his time at the club. Steve McManaman (1999-2003) McManaman was one of the first big-name English players to exploit the Bosman ruling when he quit Liverpool to join Real on a free transfer. He won the Champions League twice – scoring a memorable goal in a player-of-the-match display against Valencia in the 2000 final – as well as LaLiga on two occasions. David Beckham (2003-07) David Beckham's fortunes in Madrid were mixed (Nick Potts/PA) Beckham and Real Madrid seemed a match made in heaven, but the anticipated glut of trophies did not follow. Things turned sour after Fabio Capello took over as manager in 2006 and, amid contract wrangling, the England captain was frozen out. That pushed him to agree a move to LA Galaxy but there was to be a happy ending as he was recalled for the run-in and played a pivotal role as Real claimed the league crown. Michael Owen (2004-05) The England forward spent a single season at the Bernabeu after Liverpool agreed to a cut-price £8million sale after tiring of months of contract negotiations. But he did not settle well and, despite scoring a creditable 16 goals in 45 appearances, mostly from the bench, did not look like supplanting Ronaldo or Raul in the team. He was sold to Newcastle after a year, for £15m. Jonathan Woodgate (2004-07) Woodgate's spell in Spain was an unhappy one (Nick Potts/PA) England centre-back Woodgate endured a torrid spell in the Spanish capital with a succession of injuries limiting him to just 14 appearances in two years. He did not play at all in his first season and, when his debut belatedly came against Athletic Bilbao in September 2005, he scored an own goal and received a red card. He departed for Middlesbrough in 2006, initially on loan. Gareth Bale (2013-22) ⚪️🏆 Gareth Bale stole the show as Madrid beat Liverpool to take home the trophy #OTD in 2018 💪#UCL | #UCLfinal — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) May 26, 2021 Statistically, the Welsh winger belongs among Real's greats having helped the club to five Champions Leagues and three LaLiga titles following his world-record £85m move from Tottenham. Highlights included two goals against Liverpool, one a spectacular overhead kick, in the 2018 Champions League final but supporters were never truly won over amid a perceived rivalry with team-mate and fan favourite Cristiano Ronaldo. Embracing a Welsh fan's flag reading 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order' hardly helped. Caroline Weir (2022-present) Weir (left) has made a strong impression at Real (Jane Barlow/PA) The Scotland international moved to Real from Manchester City in 2022 and enjoyed a superb first season in Liga F, scoring 19 goals in 28 appearances as the team finished runners-up to Barcelona. She also scored against City to knock her old club out of the Champions League. A cruciate ligament injury prevented her building on that last term before her return to action earlier this season. Jude Bellingham (2023-present) 😊 Jude Victor William Bellingham, at your service. 😊 — Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) August 12, 2023 It is sometimes difficult to believe Bellingham is still only 21, such is the remarkable impression the England midfielder has made in the game, first at Borussia Dortmund and now at Real. Revelling in an attacking role, he shone from the moment he arrived in Spain, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists in his first campaign that produced a LaLiga and Champions League double.

King Charles' Royal Ascot runner SMASHED in betting after Willie Mullins books ‘world's best jockey' for £57,000 ride

KING CHARLES' big Royal Ascot runner has been SMASHED in the betting - after Willie Mullins booked the 'world's best jockey' for the £57,000 ride. Four-year-old gelding Reaching High has already made history after becoming the first horse owned by a reigning monarch to be trained in Ireland. 3 3 He was beaten a short-head on his first run for Mullins at Leopardstown in May over just 1m4f. The Ascot Stakes, to be run at 5pm on Tuesday, is over a mile further, so Reaching High's stamina will be massively tested. But if anyone can get him ready then it's Mullins - and the jockey booking is a big help too. Mullins - who's also signed 'one of the most talented jockeys around' for two more big rides on day one - and King Charles have pulled some strings and got Ryan Moore, who's been crowned world's best jockey four times. Moore rode Estimate to Ascot Gold Cup glory for the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2013. And he is in awesome form this year, winning the Oaks and Coronation Cup at Epsom last weekend as well a whole host of other Group 1s. Layers at Ladbrokes rushed to cut Reaching High's odds for the Ascot Stakes, where victory is worth a shade under £57,000. He was 10-1 before the Moore jockey booking became public news and is now into just 6-1. The firm's Cal Gildart said: "With Ryan Moore's two Epsom Group 1 victories fresh in the mind, Reaching High's Ascot Stakes odds almost halved on the news of his booking. "Punters are clearly high on the King and Queen's horse, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him go off as favourite." Speaking previously of his delight to train a Royal runner, Grand National-winning trainer Mullins said: "It's an honour and a big surprise to be asked. "It's nice to have a horse in that position and it's very exciting. "I'm probably looking at the two-and-a-half-mile race (Ascot Stakes) but we'll look at both staying races on the first day. "When you look at his pedigree, it's all stamina. He seems to stay very well." . Remember to gamble responsibly

Trent Alexander-Arnold speaks Spanish as he describes ‘dream' Real Madrid move

Trent Alexander-Arnold said joining Real Madrid was a 'dream come true' as he delivered his opening address to club dignitaries and invited guests in Spanish. The 26-year-old England international, who has signed a six-year deal after his contract with Liverpool expired, was watched by his family as he spoke confidently at his official presentation ahead of a press conference. Advertisement His choice to speak in the language of his new club and not English surprised many but showed the preparation which had gone into this move, something for which he was criticised by sections of the Liverpool fanbase after leaving the club on a free transfer. 👕 #WelcomeTrent 👕 — Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) June 12, 2025 'This doesn't happen every day, it's a dream come true and I'm very happy and proud to be here,' he said after his 20-year association with Liverpool officially came to an end. 'I want to show Real Madrid fans how I play; I'm going to give my all for the team and Real Madrid fans. 'I want to show those fans how I play, I want to win many titles and I want to be a winner here and enjoy playing alongside the many great players.' Advertisement Alexander-Arnold, wearing a black suit and tie, sat next to girlfriend Estelle Behnke as a video montage was played of his best moments in a Liverpool shirt, inevitably featuring his two assists in the 4-0 Champions League semi-final comeback against Real's arch-rivals Barcelona. Trent Alexander-Arnold speaking in fluent Spanish at his Real Madrid unveiling 🇪🇸 — Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) June 12, 2025 His mum Dianne, sat alongside his dad Michael and brothers Tyler – his agent – and Marcell – could be seen wiping away tears as the video concluded. Real president Florentino Perez described Alexander-Arnold as: 'A player who has won everything, one of the best defenders and full-backs in world football. 'One on the greatest players worldwide is joining this club and hopefully we can write a new page in the history books.' Advertisement
