#5 Madrid derby eclipses 500-goal mark
El Derbi madrileno doesn't always promise a lot of goal-mouth action, but with twin strikes today, surpassed the 500-goal haul in overall goals tally in La Liga games.
499 at the time of kick-off, Ronaldo, as you would have it, etched his name as the scorer of the 500th goal, before Griezmann added another one soon after to take it one further. It was the 162nd domestic contest in which the milestone was reached.
Real Madrid's dominance in the local derbies see them enjoy a 53% success rate compared to 39 by Atletico, while the goal ratio stands at 286 for 215. A margin not big enough you may feel, right?
