Real Madrid whizkid Jese breaks Butragueno scoring record

Real Madrid starlet Jese Rodrigues is full of pride after his goalscoring record in the Segunda Division this season.

He beat the record of goals in a single season for a Castilla player in the Segunda Division, overtaking the 21 goals scored by Emilio Butragueño in the 1983-84 campaign.

"I am very happy to have reached 22 goals. To say I am satisfied would be an understatement; I am lost for words. To surpass or even to equal the achievements of a legend like Emilio, who has a great history at the club and has always been a very important figure here, which is a huge morale boost," said Jesé.
