Since its foundation in 1902, Real Madrid has always bet on the attack to establish its domination. From the first successes in law to European conquests, the scorers were the craftsmen of the Madrid triumphs. The club has attracted out peer talents, capable of switching the matches and registering their name in gold letters.
Cristiano Ronaldo
He is the top scorer in the history of Real Madrid with 451 goals in 438 games between 2009 and 2018. Its formidable efficiency and its ability to shine in major meetings have marked a golden era for the club.
My wife
With 354 goals in 648 games, the nueve was able to evolve to become an essential offensive leader. Arrived in 2009, he knew how to adapt and take over after the departure of Ronaldo, leading the Madrid attack brilliantly. Until the Ballon d’Or in 2022.
Raúl González
Trained at the club, the legendary number 7 scored 323 goals in 741 games between 1994 and 2010. Symbol of loyalty and regularity, he embodied the soul of Real Madrid for more than fifteen years. In a period not the most crowned with success.
-Alfredo Di Stéfano
With 308 goals in 396 games, the Real Madrid icon was the pillar of European successes of the 1950s and 1960s. Its influence exceeds statistics, as it transformed the club into a world power, associated in particular to the French Raymond Kopa.
Carlos Santillana
Author of 290 goals in 645 games between 1971 and 1988, this more unknown striker in the history of the Merengue club was renowned for his exceptional head game. It was a major asset during the club transition years.
Replacing such monuments is therefore a colossal challenge. Real Madrid is now put on two exceptional talents like Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé to perpetuate this offensive tradition. Mbappé, who arrived at the club in the summer of 2024, obviously aspires to walk in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors.
To summarize
The five most legendary scorers of Real Madrid are Cristiano Ronaldo (451 goals), Karim Benzema (354), Raúl González (323), Alfredo Di Stéfano (308) and Carlos Santillana (290). These legends have forged the history of the club. Today, Real relies on Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé to prolong this tradition.
