This, really should have been able to finish his career at Real.
The club didn't handle it properly by not telling him that they wre loking for another keeper, but at the end of the day he left because he prefered starting somewhere else over being on Madrid's bench (understandable considering the Euro is coming up this summer, and the fact that he knew that the press would create a hostile climate dangerous for the club whenever the starting keeper made a mistake, starting a debate on wether he should start or not... just like when Raúl wasn't starting).
Dispite having some moments of brilliance and a solid 13/14 season, he has never fully recovered from that dreadful period under Mourinho unfortunately. If he hadn't been ruined then he probably would still be the team's starting keeper.

Hierro was treated the same.
And Raul
Good career then club shits on you entirely.
RAEL Madrid joke club ofcc
Hierro was treated like shit unfortunately, but I can't really agree on the Raúl bit (although, yes, it could have been better). In any case, the farewell to legens has been awful overall ever since Florentino took over. The only one I can remember being a truly proper goodbye under his presidency was Van Nistelrooy, and he wasn't that big of a club legend. Calderón might have made many mistakes as president, but this is something he did way better than Florentino... Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Salgado were all given a proper farewell.
