Four of the most prominent footballers that have represented Chelsea and Real Madrid are examined in this article:

1. Arjen Robben: 

The Dutch winger, who represented Chelsea from 2004 until 2007, was an important player.

In 2007, he relocated to Real Madrid, where he won the Copa del Rey and La Liga.
