Diego Godin has made 314 appearances for Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid centre-back Diego Godin says he is "proud" to have written himself into the club's history books after joining former teammate Luis Perea as the non-Spaniard with the most appearances for the Rojiblancos.
Uruguay international Godin played the full 90 minutes in Atletico's 1-0 La Liga win at Celta Vigo on Sunday, pushing him to 314 games in all competitions for the club, equalling the appearance record set by ex-Colombia international Luis Perea between 2004 and 2012.
Godin, who joined Atletico from Villarreal for €8 million in 2010, told Marca that he was happy to have reached the mark, but wants to continue to achieve more at the club.
"I am very proud of this," the 31-year-old said. "It is an enormous joy for me. To write a page in the history of the club is something very important for me. I will be remembered for these numbers, but what I want is to be remembered for what I have done for the club on and off the field. So we must keep going."
