Raul delighted with appearance record

Raul managed to beat Manuel Sanchis’ record when he made his 711th appearance for Los Blancos.

The striker scored two goals against Valladolid.

“This is incredible and I never believed I would add this many appearances for this club,” he said.

“Now I fulfil 15 years at Real and if we analyse the numbers it is not easy. I am very happy and now I dream to win more titles this season.

“I am pleased with the gesture the club gave me before the match and I have always given my maximum on the field.

“This is my philosophy of life. My team-mates are decisive for the success in front of goal. Without the help of my team-mates I would never have reached this number.”
