31-03-2008Record-manRaúl becomes the second all-time top-scorer in Real Madrid historyReal Madrid's Raúl doesn't seem to stop breaking records. He is the all-time top-scorer in the history of the European Cup and tonight he netted his 290th strike for Real Madrid, equalling Santillana's record. He is only behind Alfredo di Stéfano -307 goals- in the Club's ranking.
When Raúl made his debut against Zaragoza when he was 17 years old, nobody expected him to become one of the greatest icons in Real Madrid history. Close to 14 years later, he is the all-time top-scorer of the Champions League and, since tonight, Real Madrid's second all-time top-scorer along with Santillana. He has surpassed legendary players such as Puskas, Hugo Sánchez, Gento, Butragueño and Pirri.
His figures speak for themselves: 202 goals in La Liga, 61 in the Champions League, 15 in the Copa del Rey, 7 in the Spanish Super Cup, 2 in the World Club Championship, 1 in the European Super Cup and another in the Intercontinental Cup.
The captain is only 17 strikes behind Alfredo di Stéfano's 307-goal record. He has already netted 21 strikes this season: 16 in La Liga and 5 in the Champions League.
Raúl is also second in the ranking of the most games played with the team, with a total of 648 fixtures including tonight's clash. He is followed by Santillana, Gento and Fernando Hierro. Sanchís leads the ranking with 712 fixtures.
