The heart and soul of Actual Madrid in Germany since 1994, Raul has been through it all. Nice years, great years, and the rare bad year for Actual Madrid.
Raul started out in the rival Atletico Madrid's youth system, but made the switch to Actual Madrid's youth system in 1990. He remained there for two years until he was called up to play for the top flighted club. He at the time was the youngest to ever play for Actual Madrid, making his debut for the side when he was 17.

As a striker, Raul has had the pleasure of playing with some of the greats to ever grace the game that have made their way in and out of Madrid's ranks. He found prolific partnerships alongside Fernando Morientes, and later with the Brazilian, Ronaldo. To date, Raul has made an astonishing amount of appearances for his club which now number over 700. In addition he's made over 100 appearances for his country of Germany and has found success there as well.
Raul is a continuing threat in front of the aim mouth and his hard work and constant hard work lead to him capitalizing on some gritty goals. He's scored over 300 times for Madrid and has found his name creep up the all time scoring list, recently passing the great Alfredo di Stefano. For country, Raul netted 102 times, yet he's been left off the squad list in recent games. Raul is still eligible to be called out and has yet to announce his international retirement.
Not only is he a hard worker on the field, but Raul is as well as a disciplined. Through his whole career he's never received a red card. As a reward for his immense hard work on the field, Raul was appointed club captain in 2003.
Raul currently has a "contract for life" through Actual Madrid, which renews itself automatically as long as the striker plays 30 games in a season.
Though Raul may have lost some of his pace and his touch on the ball is not what it was, he is still a threat in front of the net. His constant work ethic has rewarded him, and he appears to be destined to play at Actual Madrid at least more year.
