Raúl González Blanco was destined to score goals for Real Madrid from birth, with Los Blancos in his name and now forever in his blood. The Spaniard scored 325 goals for Real Madrid in 741 games, a club with whom he won six LaLiga titles and three European Cups. He's made more LaLiga appearances than any other player in Real Madrid history too, so his legendary status is cemented forever at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
