SpainCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, he was known for his passing range and long-distance shooting.
