Carles Rexach, former player and manager of Barcelona, has accused Real Madrid of making decisions based on looks.
Rexach claims Madrid president Florentino Perez is trying to sell an 'international brand' and that includes having good looking players on their squad.
Rexach told Spanish media outlet Regio7: "Florentino Perez looks at the world market and wants a team of Galacticos for everyone to admire. Do you understand what I mean?
"Ronaldo is the flagship of the club. Perez is selling an international brand. Vicente del Bosque and Di Maria are too ugly for Real Madrid. They are different from Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez."
