Arjen Robben has been surpassed on goals scored for Real Madrid by Daniel Carvajal, who leveled matters at 1-1 for Real Madrid in their La Liga meeting with Espanyol on Saturday night.
Daniel Carvajal scored his 14th goal in the colours of Real Madrid to draw them level five minutes after a Thibaut Courtois own goal gave the visitors a second-half lead in the Santiago Bernabéu.
Jude Bellingham won possession from an Espanyol player following a ferocious shot from Federico Valverde. The Englishman fired his cross across goal, which slipped from the hands of Joan Garcia to give Daniel Carvajal the easiest goal to score.
Further goals from Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé secured an impressive 4-1 comeback win for Carlo Ancelotti’s men as they continued their recovery from a slow start to the season.

Dutch legend Arjen Robben scored 13 times for Real Madrid during his two-year spell in Spain between 2007 and 2009. By scoring Real Madrid’s equalizer on the night, Daniel Carvajal surpassed Robben with his 14th goal for the club.
The Spanish right-back is widely considered a Real Madrid legend having progressed through the ranks at the club’s Academy before his senior debut in 2013 after spending the previous season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
Carvajal has won a lot of silverwares at Real Madrid including six UEFA Champions League titles, making him a joint most decorated player in the competition’s history.
