BECKS SHOCKED AT LACK OF TROPHIES

Former England captain David Beckham, who is moving to Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the season, is flummoxed that Real Madrid did not win anything during his near four-year spell at the Bernabeu.

"It is a surprise Real Madrid haven't won anything. They have had some of the best players in the world, especially during my first year there," said the 31-year-old midfielder, who left Manchester United in 2003.

"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."

Beckham, who has looked in better form since the World Cup last year until a knee injury put him out for a month, added: “I'm not worried by the standard in America because some people are also saying it's the right time for me to go because my legs have gone, he said.

"There are differences of opinion but for me it's the right time to go. I didn't want another challenge at the end of my career, I wanted to go where I felt I could make a difference. That will be my ambition out there.

"It won't just be the playing side but the ambassador role for football in the MLS and around the world."
