By playing against Getafe the Argentine will join select group of players including Raul, Casillas, Guti and Ramos
With eleven matches left this season and 20 goals under his belt, Gonzalo Higuain will play his 100th league match as a Madridista if he sees action on Thursday against Getafe.
In just over three and a half years as a Madridista, Gonzalo Higuain is on the verge of playing his 100th league match as a Madridista; a feat that only four other members of the current squad -Raul, Casillas, Guti and Sergio Ramos- have accomplished.
Higuain's name is already etched in Real Madrid's history books, though. One of his hat-trick goals against Valladolid was also the club's 1900th league goal as visitors.
This season, the Argentine striker is the most efficient goal-scorer in La Liga. He finds the back of the net every 75.20 minutes and has scored 20 goals in 21 matches. Leo Messi is second with a goal every 81.40 minutes and Cristiano Ronaldo third with one every 103.47 minutes.
