Beckham, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Raul, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos and Michael Owen have not won a trophy in the past two seasons but sales of merchandise have soared from £45.8m prior to Beckham's arrival to £83.7m. (~$150m)Now, 60% of Real shirts are sold outside Spain. Five years ago, that figure was about 10%. Since Beckham's arrival Real have extended their shirt deal with adidas to 2012 and claim 50% of profits from shirt sales - of which Beckham sells more than the rest of the team combined.
