Favourite Footballers: Raúl González
“Raúl is a name that is synonymous with Real Madrid. A canterano since 1992, Raúl is the definition of a Real Madrid player. For the most part of the last decade, he was Real Madrid. He embodied all of Real Madrid in his captaincy, which was passed onto him in 2003 by another true leader before him, Fernando Hierro. Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello said that Raúl “is the inheritance of Real Madrid” and his teammate Luís Figo added “I think he is the greatest player to have ever played the game. He walks on the turf and he astounds. It is utterly amazing”. […] Raúl will always remain a part of Madridismo. A part of history. A part of Real Madrid. […] “Symbol of Madridismo”.”
