Real Madrid midfield ace David Beckham insists he's enjoyed his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite not picking up a trophy along the way.
Before he joins LA Galaxy, Beckham has the chance to lift the Liga championship and said: "We have been under great pressure in the last four years. When you are with such a great team and win nothing and in addition Barcelona is winning, there is great pressure. And it is very normal. People must have the right to criticize when they want to.
"I have enjoyed very much these years at Real Madrid. I wanted to join one of the greatest clubs in the world and have lived the dream I had as a boy by playing with people like Figo, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Raul and Ronaldo."
Asked about the instability at Real compared with his former club, Manchester United, Beckham admitted the contrast couldn't be greater.
"It has been different and difficult to be in Madrid because there have been many changes throughout the last four years. There were many comings and goings in the way to manage the club, whereas Manchester United has been always directed by the same person. There people know where they stand. With Real Madrid it is a different mentality. It is very different from the organization of Manchester United."
