Beckham Has No Madrid Regrets

David Beckham has said that he has no regrets about opting to join Real Madrid, despite not winning trophies during his first three seasons at the club.

The English midfielder moved to the Spanish giants from Manchester United in 2003 and is about to complete his final campaign before moving LA Galaxy.

Despite spending vast sums on superstar players, Madrid's last piece of major silverware was the league championship at the end of the 2002-03 season.

"It is a surprise Real Madrid haven't won anything," Beckham said. "They have had some of the best players in the world, especially during my first year there.

"There was Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raúl and so many more."

Beckham arrived in the summer that coach Vicente Del Bosque and 16 squad members left and the era of los Galácitos began.

After tasting regular success at Old Trafford, the 31-year-old expected to add to his haul at the Berbnabéu, but has been unable to help guide the club to glory.

"It is hard to take that I haven't won anything but I don't really regret my decision to go to Spain and Real Madrid," he added.

"The lack of success is just one of those situations you can't explain. But I've enjoyed my time there and I've loved the fans."

Becks: No Real regrets

David Beckham has stated he has no regrets over leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid, despite a lack of success in Spain.

The former England captain has won no major trophies with the Liga giants and only has a Spanish Super Cup medal to show for his efforts to date.

Beckham is surprised by the side's lack of success in recent years considering the calibre of player they have had in their squad.

The former Red Devil, who is joining LA Galaxy this summer, is disappointed he has not won anything major in Spain, but stands by his decision to leave the Premiership.

"It is a surprise Real Madrid haven't won anything," revealed Beckham. "They have had some of the best players in the world, especially during my first year there.

"There was Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raul and so many more.

"It is hard to take that I haven't won anything but I don't really regret my decision to go to Spain and Real Madrid.

"The lack of success is just one of those situations you can't explain. But I've enjoyed my time there and I've loved the fans."

Roberto Carlos and Beckham return to the training pitch

Real Madrid returned to training with their minds set on Osasuna. The best news today was that Beckham and Roberto Carlos could work out on the pitch thanks to their speedy recovery. The session mainly focused on toning exercises. Good spirits reigned throughout; the team is united and ready to be successful.

Real Madrid returned to training after having a day off following their victory over Celta Vigo at Balaídos Stadium on Sunday, ready to prepare for the clash against Osasuna at the Bernabéu on Sunday at 7 pm CET.

The squad were in good spirits all morning and showcased their optimism and how united they all are. Robinho, who has given excellent perofmances in the team's past couple of games, was the greatest joker of them all. Diarra took the pitch with a triumphant run of great touches on ball and some exhibition tricks, followed by Beckham, who was given a great ovation by his teammates.

Good news came from the infirmary this morning. Every player is fit to train except for Raúl Bravo, who still suffers from a pulled quadriceps on his right leg. David Beckham -sprained right knee- and Roberto Carlos -mild fascia tear on the soleus of the right leg- took the training pitch to do field recovery work with physical trainer José Luis San Martín. They were joined by Gago and Higuaín. The Argentines were starters at Balaídos Stadium and decided to work-out aside from the squad. José Antonio Reyes trained normally, without experiencing any problems.

The session began with a practice match that was followed by physical and tactical work. The team will hold four more sessions this week prior to the match against Osasuna at the Bernabéu, where their fans, convinced of their chances of winning the League, will fervently cheer them on.
