Five years ago, madridismo said goodbye to Alfredo Di Stéfano, the greatest footballer of all time and the man who changed Real Madrid history forever.
Alfredo Di Stéfano is an Argentine football star who built a legendary career when he moved to Europe in the 1950s and led Real Madrid to five straight Continental club championships.
Playing with Paco Gento, and later with the Hungarian star Ferenc Puskas, Di Stéfano and Real Madrid won the European Cup the first five years of the competition’s existence, from 1956 to 1960.
Di Stéfano won the scoring title five times and is the No. 5 career goal scorer in the history of the Spanish league. He retired at 40 in 1966 after a 22-year career in South America and Europe.
