Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has no regrets selling Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben.
Inter Milan star Robben is among the favourites for this year's Ballon d'Or along with Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.
"It's true two great players left the club in Robben and Sneijder but Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in their place," Perez said.
"I don't know if they are better or worse, but with the two Dutch players we conceded four against Liverpool and six against Barcelona."
