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!
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.
Imagine me some small kid in a tiny mountain town in PL with no real football team in the area, watching Raul playing for RM was how i got interested in football, igetting goosebumps as a kid, cant believe it was that long ago!
I mean pre Galactico's where he really sacrificed his game to incorporate other stars, he was an absolute superstar. In the mid to late 90's if you asked 100 people who was the best player in the world, some of them would say Raul he was that good. He led Madrid to their first Champions League in 32 years before Figo, Ronaldo and Zidane even got there. He was Real Madrid's all time top scorer and the highest scorer in Champions League history before Cristiano Ronaldo boke both those records. For me he's maybe the second greatest Real Madrid player ever after Ronaldo.
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
Raul was awesome. But there were some other great Spanish players in the late 90s and early 2000s. Diego Tristan and Valeron were better than him in 2002.
I still remember playing Winning Eleven, then Pro Evolution Soccer 5. I always remember his stats for running around 78, then through the years 73, but I don't believe him that slow. I think the creator doesn't know him 😢
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
How beautiful it is to know that all the people in comments had shared the same football hero and life model person as Raul. Thank you !!!
Raul deserves 2001 Ballon’dor
Raul was robbed by Michael Owen and ofc Raul deserved 2001 Ballon D'Or

Couldn't agree more!
Same my friend
He has an argument for the goat of Spain for sure. I’d agree
He is my hero and my reason why i Love Real Madrid so much
As i have said many times , we will never see strikers with that much IQ ever again . after 2010 the world never produced any striker to that level .
Ya no se aprende a jugar en la calle, ahora todos son iguales, no inventan nada por si mismos.
my favorite player of all time fell in love with madrid because of him
still my favorite player

RAÚL was my inspiration and the reason how I found REAL MADRID

Raul❤
He took the number7? He all ready had mate years before
The best ever
Raul Madrid
I'll be the first to say he was way better than cr7
Lets not exaggerate it but I get your point of view. He indeed made a bigger impact for his club than Ronaldo did.
Barcelona fan ,are you out of your mind?
Cmon man really? Cr7 has 5 ballon d ors
Okay he certainly wasn't better than CR7, let's not be silly now. Here's a good player but not at that level
He’s my idol and the reason I play but please.. CR7 can only be compared with Di stefano
Ewan ko syao he is the one of the greatest
Raul > Ronaldo
Thats some facts!
nah
he is a legend but not better than cr7
@@G-gl1hbTrue infact the most talented Spanish striker better than Raul was David Villa (in his prime he played like CR7 + Suarez style)
Most overrated spanish player ever.
Por el Real Madrid han pasado muchos jugadores de los mejores que ha habido, si alguien deja huella es por algo.
No lol
i will fight you on the street for that words mister
You don't play like a legend for years in the best football club in history being overrated
@@OldDustinPowderRaul was the reason Real Madrid won UCL 2-3 times & kept respect to Galacticos (that was a flop)
