Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record of scoring in six consecutive El Clasico matches but lingers some way behind his long-time nemesis on the overall charts, sharing second place with fellow Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano on 18 goals.

Former Los Blancos captain Raul Gonzalez ranks fourth with 15 goals, ahead of Cesar, Francisco Gento and Ferenc Puskas who share fifth place, having netted 14 derby goals each during their respective careers. 

Luis Suarez, who recently left Barca to join Atletico Madrid, is the only other active player who features on the list, ranking in ninth place after scoring 11 times for the Blaugrana during his time at the Nou Camp.
