The former football player of "Real," Royston Drenthe, recalled the unusual ritual of the team before matches against "Barcelona."
— When I was at "Real," of course, I hated "Barca." We, the Madridians, would hang posters of "Barcelona" players, including a photo of Messi, in the locker room a week before "El Clásico" and throw darts at them, — quotes Drenthe As.
The Dutchman played for "Real" from 2007 to 2012. During that time, he played 65 matches, scored 4 goals, and provided 5 assists.
