In doing so, he set a new club record with 28 goals in 32 games in the 2024-25 campaign – the most by a player in his first season for Real Madrid in La Liga history.

Former Spain and Argentina striker Alfredo Di Stéfano held the record for 71 years, after scoring 27 goals during the 1953/54 season.
