Raul, who spent sixteen years with los Blancos before accepting a transfer to the New York Cosmos, praised his fellow icon Alessandro Del Piero for his career at Juventus.

“He is the best player in Italian history,” the former Spain captain told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “A person for whom I feel not only respect, but also great affection.”

Raul also had a few words praising new Milan Coach Filippo Inzaghi.

“Just three terms: goleador, fighter and man-in-the-box.

“I wish him the best as a Coach. If he puts the same fight in it that he had as a player, he will do wonderfully.”

Raul said that he still follows the games of Real Madrid, but occasionally watches Italian football to follow his former colleagues. “I watch the games of Real Madrid first and foremost. I follow my ex-teammates or friends. Those in Napoli and Diego Lopez in Milan.”
