#2 Raul (66 goals)
Cristiano Ronaldo may be arguably Real Madrid’s greatest ever player, but he still has some way to go to become the darling of the Bernabeu that Raul is. To Madridistas, he represents the beating heart of the club, having ironically arrived in 1992 from city rivals Atleti. He would stay 18 years, spending seven as captain, and enjoyed stunning success.
Raul scored 66 Champions League goals overall for Real Madrid and became the first player to net in two different finals. It was his goal quarter of an hour from time that capped their stunning 3-0 win over Valencia in 2000, and a couple of years later he latched onto a long throw from Roberto Carlos to open the scoring in a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen that is remembered for Zinedine Zidane’s stunning volley.
With 71 goals overall in European play, only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo stand above him.
