Real Madrid reach 5,000 La Liga goals in seven-goal thriller against Numancia
Real Madrid became the first club in La Liga history to reach 5,000 goals when Guti’s deflected strike helped them defeat Numancia 4-3 at the Santiago Bernabéu. The landmark moment arrived during a dramatic 4-3 victory over Numancia at the Santiago Bernabéu. After Juan Carlos Moreno had given the visitors an early lead, Guti produced a long-range effort that deflected off a Numancia player and found the bottom corner, becoming Real Madrid’s historic 5,000th league goal. Numancia regained the lead through José Barkero, but Madrid responded through Gonzalo HiguaÃn and Rafael van der Vaart before an own goal extended their advantage. Moreno scored again for the visitors in the second half, but Real held on to secure the victory.
