Iker Casillas - Real Madrid
Iker Casillas will join a select list of players who have made at least 600 official appearances for Real Madrid if he features in Sunday's La Liga match at home against Athletic Bilbao.
The goalkeeper made his official debut against Athletic at San Mames on 12 September 1999 and has since appeared in 438 league games, 118 Champions League matches, 27 Copa del Rey encounters, five Intercontinental cup games, nine Spanish Supercopa encounters, and two European Supercup matches.
Only Raul (741 games), Manuel Sanchis (709), Santillana (645), Francisco Gento (602) and Fernando Hierro (601) have played more official games for Los Blancos.
Casillas will become the first shot-stopper to reach six centuries of games for the Primera Division table-toppers.
