Sepp Blatter has defended Real Madrid's spending spree and Ronaldo's price tag

Given the global recession Real's unprecedented spending has surprised many within the football fraternity, but Blatter feels the game will benefit in the long run.

Speaking ahead of the Confederations Cup in South Africa, Blatter said: "It means that our product is still a good product. If this is the game of the people, they need stars.


"OK, it is a lot of money, but he is performing. We are in a very sensitive market nowadays because there is an economic crisis. In football, we are still in a good market."

"Almost 10 years ago, Luis Figo went from Barcelona to Real Madrid for £37million," he said. "So what is £80million now? That means there is still demand to have a star."

"Okay, you might say it is too much, but you have to put it in context of what football in our society is worth and what other things in our society are worth."

You do know Sepp Blatter isn't Michael Platini? If I remember correctly Platini is the one who has some issue with English clubs, never heard anything about Blatter being biased.
Or am I missing the point here?
