Notably, Real Madrid's all-time top goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo is a massive part of the club's latest era of all-round success. Staying with Los Blancos for just nine seasons before his exit to Juventus, the Portuguese maestro scored a shocking 451 goals in just 438 appearances. Club president Florentino Perez once called Ronaldo the heir to Alfredo di Stefano, another classic goal-scoring machine.

Barely a season went by without a trophy or Cup of some sort during Ronaldo's era at the Santiago Bernabeu. The star picked up an impressive 16 trophies with Madrid, including successive Champions League triumphs and three Club World Cups.

Seen as the symbol and representative of everything Real Madrid did, Raul was arguably one of the best players to ever captain the Spanish giants. Blessed with sublime instinct in front of goal, the former Spanish international was the perfect fox in the box. Playing at the Santiago Bernabeu for 18 years, Raul made a record-breaking 741 appearances, scoring 323 goals for the club,

Raul was also notable for his resolute character and determined mindset on the pitch. His leadership won him plaudits, but his work on the pitch was also impressive. Winning six La Liga titles, the star would go on to bring home 16 major trophies.

Right-wing forward: Alfredo di Stefano - 308 goals

Decades before Raul and Cristiano Ronaldo would break his all-time goalscorer record, Alfredo di Stefano was the undisputed king of football in Spain. The former star spent just over a decade at the Santiago Bernabeu. But his astonishing performances made him an immediate legend with fans. Scoring 308 goals in just 396 games, there would be no one like Alfredo di Stefano for another five decades.

18 trophies in 11 seasons is pure brilliance, but it doesn't even compare to another major record that Alfredo di Stefano's Madrid still holds: the Dream Team won 5 consecutive European Cups. Notably, di Stefano scored in every single final of those five competitions, actively cementing his legendary status in the annals of Los Blancos' history.
