Luis Figo was interviewed about his time at Madrid:

“I was a player who the president didn’t really want and many times they put me on the bench without explaining, it was a way to hurt me. I don’t share Perez ideas but I respect them, its a very powerful man, but my time in Real Madrid wasn’t good. They though I was finished, I was lucky to choose Inter who I won four scudetti with after leaving Real Madrid.”
