#3 Iker Casillas
Iker Casillas is one of the few Spanish players who has won it all throughout his career. He is arguably the best goalkeeper in the history of Real Madrid and Spanish football.
Casillas joined Real Madrid's academy when he was just 9 years of age and subsequently rose through the ranks. He made his first-team debut in 1999 and went on to play in 725 official games, winning 19 titles. He was the captain of both Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, who won the World Cup and two European Championships.
His greatest accomplishment was winning the World Cup in which he conceded just two goals in the entire tournament and kept clean sheets during the entire knockout stages of the World Cup.
Casillas left Real Madrid in 2015 for Porto and spent 5 seasons at the club before retiring in 2020 due to health issues.
#2 Raul Gonzalez
Apart from being one of the best Spanish players in the history of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, Raul Gonzalez is arguably one of the greatest footballers to have ever played the game.
Raul joined Real Madrid's academy in 1994 from Atletico Madrid's club youth system after it was shut down by then president Jesus Gil due to poor finances. Little did he know that Raul would go on to sign with cross-town rivals Real Madrid and become one of the best Spanish players ever.
Raul spent 16 years at the club, scoring 324 goals in 741 games for the club, becoming the club's all-time record goalscorer and appearance maker before he was surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo on the goal front.
Along with his prolific goalscoring, Raul also had excellent technical skills and clever off-the-ball movement to draw out opposition defenders and create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates.
Raul had many accomplishments throughout his career and some of the major ones among these were six La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies.
#1 Sergio Ramos
Hero of La Decima and captain of the Real Madrid side that lifted three successive Champions League titles, Sergio Ramos is one of the best Spanish players in Real Madrid's history.
Ramos joined Madrid in the summer of 2005 and has since gone on to play 16 seasons at the club, making 671 appearances and becoming the club's fourth-highest all-time appearance maker. He also found the net an incredible 101 times, a truly amazing figure for a defender.
Although he is infamous for being the player with the most send-offs, Ramos played a key part in Real Madrid's defense during his time at the club. He was renowned for his tackling ability, aerial prowess, eye for goals and set-piece ability.
Not many Spanish players have a trophy cabinet like Sergio Ramos has. He won 22 titles at the club, including five La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues. He also won two European Championships and the World Cup with the Spanish national team.
Ramos left Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 after failing to agree a new contract with the La Liga giants.
