At 24, Vinicius Junior surpasses Ronaldo Nazário as Real Madrid's highest-scoring Brazilian with 105 goals. Explore the star-studded list of Seleção legends who shaped Los Blancos' history.

Vinicius Júnior has rewritten Real Madrid's history books by eclipsing Ronaldo Nazário as the club's all-time leading Brazilian goalscorer. The 24-year-old phenom achieved this milestone during Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, cementing his status among Bernabéu royalty.


The Top 10 Brazilian Goal Machines

10. Julio Baptista (13 goals)
The Beast struggled to adapt after his €20m move from Sevilla, but delivered a iconic Camp Nou winner in 2008's title-clinching Clásico.

9. Kaká (29 goals)
The 2007 Ballon d'Or winner brought elegance to Madrid's midfield, claiming La Liga and Copa del Rey before injuries curtailed his Galáctico era.

8. Sávio (30 goals)
The Flamengo export quietly collected three Champions League titles (1998, 2000, 2002) as part of Madrid's golden generation.

7. Casemiro (31 goals)
Defensive destroyer turned big-game scorer, including a 30-yard rocket in the 2017 UCL final against Juventus.

6. Robinho (35 goals)
The Dribbling King won back-to-back La Liga titles before becoming Sheikh Mansour's first marquee signing at Manchester City.

5. Marcelo (38 goals)
The most decorated Brazilian in Madrid history (25 trophies) combined marauding runs with clutch goals across 546 appearances.

4. Rodrygo (68 goals)
Current superstar averaging 1 goal every 3.7 games, already boasting two UCL crowns at age 23.

3. Roberto Carlos (69 goals)
Free-kick specialist converted 24 dead balls during 11 seasons of overlapping madness from left-back.

2. Ronaldo Nazário (104 goals)
El Fenomeno maintained a 0.58 goals-per-game ratio despite chronic knee issues during his five-year Bernabéu tenure.

1. Vinicius Jr. (105 goals)
From €45m teen prospect to clutch performer: Scored in two UCL finals before turning 24 while outshining new arrival Kylian Mbappé.


Statistical Spotlight:

  • Combined trophies won by Top 10: 87
  • Most efficient scorer: Ronaldo (104 in 177 games)
  • Longest service: Marcelo (16 seasons)
  • Current contributors: Vinicius & Rodrygo still adding to tallies
