Who will take Iker Casillas' record?
Cristiano Ronaldo can close the gap considerably with Iker Casillas having announced his playing retirement in February, although he would still trail the Spaniard even if Juventus got to the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League final.
The 150+ club is made up of three goalkeepers, four defenders, three midfielders and two forwards. Aside from Ronaldo, the other forward to feature is Raúl González, himself a long-time talismanic figure at the Santiago Bernabéu and whose final campaign in the Spanish capital (2009/10) crossed over with Ronaldo's first.
