Real Madrid Club celebrates landmark

After 115 years of history, many Real Madrid goals have remained in the memories of the supporters. Some, for example those that have won a title, will never be forgotten. To be more specific, Real have scored 8,442 goals since the club was founded on March 6, 1902. Goals from many occasions that have brought tears of happiness.

We have decided to open the library to recall the best of Los Blancos but choosing just 15 was a fantastic and difficult task. There are several others that perhaps should be included but enjoy those that appear below.

1.- Butragueno: What a dribble!

With two minutes left of a game against Cadiz that Real Madrid won 5-1 in 1987, a loose ball fell to the 'Vulture.' He began to dribble, leaving every player in his wake, reaching the byline and, somehow, took the ball past goalkeeper Jaro, before slotting it in.

2. Amancio's double cut

Amancio Amaro scored the equaliser against Partizan with a spectacular play. A double cut back against the last defender allowed him to have a one-on-one with the goalkeeper and he finished with aplomb.

3.- Roberto Carlos' impossible goal against Tenerife

In 1998, Roberto Carlos scored one of the best goals of his career with Real Madrid during a match against Tenerife in the Copa del Rey. The left-back had run out of room but without hardly any angle to aim at, he let fly with a shot that fizzed into the net leaving the goalkeeper wondering how it happened.

4.- Steve 'Karate Kid' McManaman

Mr. Miyagi's most advanced student scored several Karate Kid-style goals. The best of them all was the one against Oviedo after scoring a mid-air volley from a Roberto Carlos pass.

5.- Seedorf's ground-to-air missile against Atletico

"The missile at Atleti was the best goal of my career," said the Dutch midfielder. During the 97/98 season, Seedorf hit one from way out and there was nothing that goalkeeper Molina could do about it.

6.- Hugo Sanchez's overhead kick

A spectacular strike against Logrones, in the 1987/88 campaign, Hugo Sanchez recalled that "It was the goal of my dreams."

7.- Zidane's magical volley

Thanks to its aesthetics and importance, Zidane's volley against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final will live forever with Real Madrid fans.

8.- Raul's unrepeatable goal

At the Estadio Vicente Calderon in the 1996/1997 season is the best goal in the history of the derbies.

9.- Van Nistelroy's volley

Real Madrid's tiki-taka that culminated in Ruud Van Nistelrooy hitting a powerful and quite incredible volley past Santiago Canizares during a match in 06/07 against Valencia, was one of the most complete goals that Real have ever scored.

10.- Benzema's volley...that will never be forgotten

The striker scored one of the most special and beautiful goals of his career as a professional. "It was a beautiful goal, against a difficult opponent and with victory. I still remember that goal," said the Frenchman.

11.- The goal by Aragon against Zubizarreta

"I stole a ball from Eusebio, I saw the gap and in the background Zubizarreta advanced, so I decided to have a go," recalled Santi Aragon. A historic goal against Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana, Aragon hit it from 42 metres out and with a 72 kilometres per hour average speed.

12.- Redondo's backheel

The ex-Madridista's change of pace and backheel before passing to Raul for 3-0 against Manchester United. Sublime.

13.- Bale's gallop against Bartra

An exceptional turn of pace from Gareth Bale gave the Copa del Rey title to Real Madrid against Barcelona.

14.- Marsal's 'goal of a thousand step-overs'

Di Stefano analysed the famous goal like this: "He started from right to left and made an extraordinary goal. He left everyone on the ground, as if they dropped like clothes that were hanging. We won 6-0 at Athletic Bilbao, but we only talked about Marsal's goal."

15.- Guti's magic against Deportivo

Spectacular. Unpredictable. Great. When it seemed that Guti was going to score a goal against Aranzubia, the '14' surprised everyone with a back heel for Benzema to score.
