On top of the new signings the club organised longer and more gruelling world tours to promote the club.

"It is great to go everywhere and be received like kings but this is not reality," Figo added

"Ask the fans whether they think is more important to see their side winning every Sunday and collecting titles, or to see their side doing tours for 15 or 20 days as if they were the Globetrotters.

"I was surprised by the timing of Perez's decision to leave because I don't think it was the right moment. When things go wrong you should stand up and be counted."

Real are second in the Primera Liga, 11 points behind leaders Barcelona whom they play on Saturday, with eight games left this season.
