Hi everyone,
This sport chronological trilogy has triggered a massive traffic and I thank every single one of you for stopping by. Today, the last chapter is called “adidas, Puma, Nike: a sport legacy”.

k over from Lorenzo Sanz, and won 2 Ligas (2001-2003) and 1 UEFA Champions League in 2002 with world class players such as Zidane, Owen, Ronaldo, Beckham. It was Los Galacticos Part I. Then the ROI was below expectations…………no kidding.
