Raúl holds the La Liga record for most appearances at one club, making 550 league appearances for Real Madrid.
Raúl González Blanco played for Real Madrid from 1994 to 2010 after emerging from the club’s youth system. He became a central figure of the club’s modern history, captaining the side and scoring 228 La Liga goals during his 550 league appearances.
The record refers specifically to appearances in La Liga for a single club, not to every competition. Raúl made 741 competitive appearances for Real Madrid in total, including domestic cups and European matches. His league mark is therefore different from the club’s overall appearance record.
The main alternatives can cause confusion. Manolo Sanchís made 523 La Liga appearances for Madrid, while Iker Casillas played 510. Sanchís did make more than Raúl’s total in some all-competition comparisons, but Raúl remains the one-club La Liga appearance record-holder.
