They said he was finished! The press wrote him of saying that he will never be the same again! The opposition fans were criticising him, but time and time again Raul proved that once you are a great footballer you never lose your touch.
Since 1996 when Jorge Valdano put him in Real Madrid’s first team Raul never looked back ever again, he broke almost every record there is to break in Real Madrid, even when the so called “GALACTICOS ” where at their peak Raul was always the first one on the team sheet.

He might not be Maradona or Pele or Di Stefano but nobody can doubt his goal scoring rate, sure, he is probably too old now to play for Real Madrid but at Schalke he’s rediscovered himself again. Just like when he was at Real Madrid and now at Schalke his team mates are looking for an inspiration on the field and very often that inspiration comes from Raul Gonzalez.
To many Madrid fans around the world Raul will always be the great numero 7 Angel of Madrid! Hala Madrid! Hala Raul!
