The goal scored by the defender at the Estadio de La Cerámica against Villarreal CF was not only crucial for the match result but also cemented his place among the top ten highest-scoring defenders in the club's history.

While the current defensive leader reached this milestone in 97 appearances between the 2022/2023 and 2025/2026 seasons, the former captain achieved his ten goals in 79 matches, spanning from his debut in the 2004/2005 season to his return in 2023/2024.

The significance of this recent goal lies in its direct impact on the team's fight for survival in the league. With two matchdays remaining, the player has established himself as a key figure in both the defensive and offensive setup of the squad.
