Real Madrid legend calls time on his playing career
Raul has announced he is retiring from football, ending his glittering 21-year playing career.
The 38-year-old, who has played in Spain, Germany, Qatar and America, has confirmed that he’s played his last professional game and has announced that he will be starting a new project.
Raul won six La Liga titles, three Champions League titles and also helped his latest team, New York Cosmos, win the North American Soccer League Bowl.

After the game, Raul said: “It was my last game in my career.
“I’m very proud of everything I did. For me now, I start a new life with another project. I’m happy, but I’m also very sad.”
Raul spent most of his career in Spain with Real Madrid, and was the club’s record goalscorer with 323 goals until last month, when Cristiano Ronaldo eclipsed his tally.
SillySeason would like to congratulate Raul on a truly memorable career.
