He became the youngest player (seventeen years and four months) ever to play for the senior side, scoring in his second senior game against derby rivals Atlético Madrid.

He became the first player to score fifty Champions League goals when he netted in a 2-1 group stage win over Olympiacos on September 28, 2005.

He was the first player to score in two Champions League finals, netting in the finals of both 2000 vs. Valencia in Paris, and 2002 vs. Bayer Leverkusen in Glasgow.
