Real Madrid set another record by fielding the most expensive starting XI in football history against Seville on Tuesday at Cardiff.

According to Metro News, Real Madrid set out 382 million pounds worth of playing talent out to take on the Europa League winners.

It, therefore, came as no surprise that the Spanish club emerged two nil victors, thanks to a brace from 80 million pound recruit Cristiano Ronaldo.

The cheapest purchase in the Real ranks is five million pound defender Daniel Carvajal.
