Los Angeles: David Beckham says he’s chomping at the bit to finally face his old club Saturday when the Los Angeles Galaxy host Real Madrid in a football friendly at the storied Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Beckham spent four superb seasons with the La Liga giants before leaving in 2007 to try his luck in North American football. He won the Spanish crown in his final season there.
“To be facing Real Madrid for the first time since I left, it’s emotional,” Beckham said.
“You get attached to a club, you get attached to people in a club.”
“I spent four amazing years at Real Madrid. To go from a club like Manchester United to Real Madrid, it really doesn’t get much better than that in football. I’ve got many friends still there, many friends as players and fans and throughout the club as well.”
Beckham moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2003.
Last year, Real and the Galaxy met in a friendly in front of a crowd of over 89,000 at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena.
The Galaxy took a 2-0 lead before Real Madrid roared back and won the match 3-2.
