PSG's Dream Team vs Real Madrid's Galactics: The exorbitant economic differences

Paris Saint-Germain is one of the few clubs in European football that spares no effort to take out of its checkbook and 'buy' the best players possible. Since the arrival of President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the Parisian team has tried to assemble the 'Dream Team' to win the first Champions League in its history. His most recent incorporation, the Argentine Lionel Messi, although there was no transfer fee, his salary represents an important cost for the French club's finances.

However, most of the stars of Paris Saint-Germain did arrive with a transfer price. Neymar, Mbappé and Di María are some of the footballers who head the list. However, and despite those contracts that came at zero cost, Paris Saint Germain had to disburse more than 800 million dollars to build the team they have today.

In fact, it is almost impossible not to compare it with that Galacticos team that Real Madrid once had. It was in 2003, when Florentino spent about 215 million to reunite the four galacticos during their first summers at the Santiago Bernabéu. Later, other stars like Michael Owen and young people like Sergio Ramos arrived to try to accompany the Galacticos, but the team chained three seasons to forget between 2003 and 2006.
