Seen as the true dynamo of the club in the 60s, Pirri was a dedicated and loyal servant of Real Madrid. Playing 561 games for the club, the former star scored an astonishing 172 goals. Notably, he was a highly versatile footballer, playing in midfield for most of his career while ending his Madrid journey as a centre-back. Pirri is also a recipient of Madrid's maximum distinction: The Laureate.

Highly clinical in front of goal, Pirri partly played as a make-shift forward during his time with Los Blancos. However, his workhorse style of play in midfield didn't stop him from racking up goals across all competitions. During much of Pirri's career, Real Madrid had serious dominance in Spain, winning La Liga 10 times.

Central midfielder: Guti - 77 goals

A Madrid-born-and-bred, Guti is a notable inspiration for many academy players who dream of the day they break into Madrid's first team. The star's vision and skill on the ball stood out almost immediately while he was in the academy. It didn't take long for him to make his first-team debut after performing for Castilla. Since making his debut in 1995, Guti went on to play 542 games for Los Blancos.

Committed and loyal to the club, Guti's name quickly became a constant from the lips of Madridistas. His vision and playmaking skills were a delight for the fans, but his sublime precision in front of goal took La Liga unawares. The star scored 77 goals, winning La Liga five times and winning 10 major trophies on the side as well.

Central midfielder: Jesus Alonso - 65 goals

Playing with Real Madrid for 10 seasons, "Chus" Alonso notably scored the first official goal at the new Santiago Bernabeu stadium on 28th of December 1947. He was known for his penchant for driving forward during attacking situations. His ability in the air and his eye for goal ensured he racked up 65 goals in just 159 official appearances.

Although Real Madrid wasn't a world-class team at the time, Alonso's vibrance and energy helped the team to a successful Spanish Cup campaign.
