Real Madrid set several team records this year, but it wouldn't have happened had several individuals not led the charts in various statistical categories. Iker Casillas wasn't just the keeper who conceded the fewest goals in 2007/08, but also the one to make the most saves and interventions. Guti, meanwhile, provided the most goal assists, while Raúl was the fourth highest scorer and the second highest from Spain.

Several Madridistas lead various league rankings

By Álvaro Velasco / Translation by Matthew Goltz

Real Madrid set several team records this year, but it wouldn't have happened had several individuals not led the charts in various statistical categories. Iker Casillas wasn't just the keeper who conceded the fewest goals in 2007/08, but also the one to make the most saves and interventions. Guti, meanwhile, provided the most goal assists, while Raúl was the fourth highest scorer and the second highest from Spain.

Casillas
After many years of Primera Division football, Iker Casillas finally finished a season as the goalkeeper to concede the fewest goals. The Madrid native allowed just 32 in 36 matches, for an average of 0.89 per match. He's the only La Liga keeper to average less than one per encounter.

Iker also made more saves (139)  than any other keeper this year and was followed by César of Zaragoza and Sorrentino of Recreativo Huelva. He also led in interventions with a total of 292, followed again by César.

Guti
In what very easily could have been his best season ever, Gutiérrez was the top assist-man of the league. Fourteen of his passes wound up in the back of the net. Ibagaza ended the year with 14 as well, but with a worse average per minute than the Madridista, who also finished fourth in the most completed passes category with 1,725. Sergio Ramos was eighth with 1,482.

Also among the top 20 goal-assist men are Robinho, who finished seventh with eight, and Wesley Sneijder and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who each had six.

Raúl
The captain had a spectacular season and finished with 18 goals to his name (plus another five in Champions League play). Raúl was the fourth top scorer in La Liga, only bested by Kun Agüero (19), Luis Fabiano (24), and Pichichi winner Dani Güiza (27). Of  number '7's' 18 goals, three were headers, three came from the penalty spot, and one was a direct free kick. Raúl was Real Madrid's top scorer in 2007/09.
