Real Madrid's massive spending spree pointless

The Spanish football giant Real Madrid is better known for spending huge sums of money on top players rather than winning championships. For instance, they have not made it to the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League in 6 years let alone win it and this year was no different.

Despite spending over £200 million on players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Xabi Alonso, they were still beaten by a lowly Lyon. It is a club I have never even heard of! So what is the point in spending so much money poaching..I mean buying players fom other clubs every season then? And the one who gets the blame and the sack is always...yes you guessed it. The manager.

Manuel Pellegrini, the current manager at Real is likely to get the chop after Real's embarrassing defeat by Lyon. Maybe Real should just focus on building a good team that is going to win matches and stay gelled in the long run rather than spending heaps of money pointlessly.
