Emmanuel Adebayor Scores 5,000th Real Madrid Goal, vs Sevilla (Video)
By Chris Wright
Despite only entering the fray in the 84th minute, Emmanuel Adebayor instantly endeared himself to the Real Madrid support by thudding home a clinical volley on his Bernabeu debut – notching the landmark 5000th home goal scored by the prestigious club (Jose Giralt scored the first back in 1903)
in the process…
Adebayor’s 90th-minute strike rounded off a 2-0 win (Mesut Ozil opened the scoring a few minutes earlier) and thus ensured Real passage through to a Copa Del Rey showdown with…you guessed it, their arch-rivals Barcelona.
For the record, Guti scored Los Blancos’ 5000th league goal against Numancia in September 2008.

It is pretty hard to score the first goal at the Santiago Bernabéu in 1903… when it was founded in 1947. The team was founded in 1903, though.
Cheers Jamie, slight oversight there – duly ammended. Seems that Adebayor has actually scored Real’s 5000th goal ‘at home’.
Epic fail of a celebration.
Ade’s celebration is the best/worst part
Wait if Real Madrid scored their 5000th league in 2008 that means they rarely score away from home…
@logan In the 1903 there was no league of the same kind so tehy have scored many of these home goals in different cup competitions
Ya, Adebayor showed the stuff he is made of after a disappointin season at CITY and even with the show of Ronaldo arrogance at him for failing to convert a pass to a goal giving to him by Ronaldo. I think Ronaldo need to respect other players. He is too arrogant and that speaks of what Madrid is made of: no unity, individual show-up thus making Barcelona have an edge over them.
[...] the fourth goal in Madrid’s 4-1 romp was scored by none other than Emmanuel Adebayor (his second in two appearances), so Ronaldo’s record may already be in jeopardy! [...]
