On the last matchday of the 2006–07 campaign, Tamudo reached 112 goals scored in the first division, making him the top all-time scorer for Espanyol: his brace in the 2–2 away draw against city rivals FC Barcelona on 9 June 2007 took him past former "Blanquiazul" star Marañón's 1983 record of 111, and allowed Real Madrid to clinch the league title. In that year's UEFA Cup, he contributed with two goals in seven games to the side's runner-up campaign which ended at the hands of fellow league side Sevilla FC and, merely four months after that match, he struck three minutes from time to give Espanyol a 3–2 win at the same rival.
