Karim Benzema's goal in Real Madrid's 2-0 Super Cup win over Eintracht Frankfurt helped him overtake club legend Raul to become the second-highest goalscorer in Los Blancos' history.
Real equalled a record in Helsinki, winning the trophy for the fifth time to join the ranks of AC Milan and Barcelona.
David Alaba gave Real the lead, tapping home after Casemiro had nodded the ball down to him just a few yards out.
Benzema had already missed chances when he struck for Real's second of the evening to ensure they would lift the Super Cup.
The French forward found the back of the net in the 65th minute when he was picked out by Vinicius on the edge of the box, before shooting straight into the back of the net.
The goal was the Frenchman's 324th for the club, putting him one ahead of Raul in the all time standings, but way behind Cristiano Ronaldo's 450. Just the 126 to go Benzema...
