Real Madrid’s record holder

Alfredo di Stefano is Real Madrid’s greatest player ever. He helped the team win 5 European Cups in a row and was the best player of his era. He made many records for Real Madrid, some of which still stand to this very day.

Roberto Carlos, however, broke one of his record back in January 2006 when he played his 370^th La Liga game as a Real Madrid player—making him the most capped foreign-born player in La Liga, a record that was held by Alfredo di Stefano before that.
