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)

For the record, Guti scored Los Blancos’ 5000th league goal against Numancia in September 2008.
