He also holds the most El Clasico appearance records with 46 appearances, surpassing Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos who both had 45.
Although the midfield legend has never scored in the fixture but he has been on the winning side more than the losing, notching up 22 wins, 8 draws and 16 defeats in his 46 matches against Real Madrid.
That total of wins is also a record, the latest success against Real taking him past the previous record of 21 wins held by los blancos legend Paco Gento.
