still my favorite player

He is my hero and my reason why i Love Real Madrid so much

Nice video! Raul was my hero growing up and I still follow him in his coaching endeavours at Castilla! He is simply the best, and for me he is the greatest Spanish player of all time!

One of the greatest spanish CF

Es el mejor de la historia el capitán eterno

Simplemente el mejor

His downfall with the national team was not the penalty miss. It was because he argued tactics with Luis Aragones, in frront of the whole team. He made an enemy out of Aragones that day. Aragones dropped him from the squad that won the Euros. And the subsequent Spanish coach (Del Bosque) didn't want to disrupt the team's chemistry by recalling him, thus effectively ending his international career.

in the '90 and early 2000 spanish players were good, but not great. Raul was the only spanish player to breack the top. he put Spain national team in WC and EC, and won 3 UCL with RM. even Guardiola afther coaching Xavi and Iniesta said that Raul is the greatest spanish player of all time

It wasn't just that Raúl already had the no.7 for Madrid. Similarly to CR7 shirts selling instantly for Manchester United because the name RONALDO was already huge in football due to Ronaldo Nazário... Madrid's initial desire was for CR7 to play as a striker, and R9 had already worn no.9 for Los Blancos. There was only a year or two between R9 leaving Madrid and CR7 getting his old squad number

Ewan ko syao he is the one of the greatest

I'll be the first to say he was way better than cr7
