Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has become the first defender in the history of La Liga to score in 14 consecutive seasons.
The defender, a regular threat from set-pieces throughout his career, set the benchmark in Madrid's game at Levante on Saturday.
Returning from a calf injury, Ramos rose highest to head home a Toni Kroos right-wing corner after 11 minutes at Ciutat de Valencia.
In addition, Ramos' goal was his 50th for Madrid in La Liga, as Zinedine Zidane's men sought a third straight league win.
