The Galactico Counter

Much like the current "Galacticos", the originals were experts at quick counterattacking football to break down stubborn defensive teams.

Here is a very short video by AlexSibley01 which analyses Real's counterattacking game during the Galactico era.

great compilation !
Really similar to Arsenal earlier in the 2000s...
Interesting to see what would happen if Real had been in the Premier League. Would teams like Bolton, for example, sit deeper against them to negate counter attack?

Depends what era, post 04/05 it seems most teams defend that way against Arsenal.

This Real team was stronger than Arsenal in possession play though, they were a pretty well-rounded team. I think they would've won the league quite easily.
the best i have seen from them :

The use of space and the awareness is unbelivable..
