10 greatest Spanish players of all time

#8 Raul Gonzalez

A prolific goalscorer and a highly creative forward, Raul is regarded as one of the greatest and most consistent strikers of his generation. Raul was a quick, left-footed player, who was capable of scoring both in and outside the penalty area with his accurate and powerful shot.

In addition to these characteristics, Raul is remembered for his leadership and discipline; throughout his extensive career, he never received a red card, and he was rarely booked. For his technical skills, elegance and performances, he was nicknamed "El Ferrari," or "The Ferrari," by Fernando Hierro.

The Spanish legend won more than 100 caps for Spain and scored 43 goals. He is Spain’s second highest goalscorer of all time, just behind David Villa. One of the longest serving leaders of the national team, Raul Gonzales will consider himself really unlucky to miss out on trophies with the Spain national team.
