The "stars" Real Madrid has right now are nothing compared to the stars in the Galacticos era (the first one in particular). Allow me to mention some of them for better context:
Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos, Casillas, Raul, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Robinho, etc.
You forgot the biggest star of them all: Thomas Gravesen
That team had plenty of attacking power but a bad defense and they didn't win much. Gravesen was the only real defensive-minded midfielder in the team. They had just gotten rid of Gerimi and Makelele. You might remember that some of those star players used to play out of position. Because Figo was on the right wing, Beckham used to play as a defensive midfielder. That was just bad.
Speaking of punkz.com, was there a rebrand of sorts? Looks like I missed out on it. I have noticed the difference in signatures and the domain name
Yep. The platform was called CasinoPunkz at the beginning. Now it's only Punkz. One new major addition is the sports betting section.
