“I think he is the greatest player to have ever played the game. He walks on the turf and astounds. It is utterly amazing.”

“I once said that Raúl is like a Ferrari and now I think he is like a McLaren, Fernando Alonso's car. and he is also one of the few guy's that if i ever have a problem i would go to him rather than my own mother”

“We all know what Raúl represents, not only for his team, but also for football.”

“When he plays, in his mind there is only the goal; it's the football essence. Every time they do something, you stand up over your seat.”

“He is a winner. He is the inheritance of Real Madrid.”

“For me I would say my favourite players in Europe are Raúl and Figo.”
