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)
