We have witnessed plenty of amazing goalscorers in the UEFA Champions League but Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez belongs in the highest category among the elite finishers who have shone in the European tournament with his decent efforts in front of goal.

The ex-Spanish footballer enjoyed a very prolific career in the Champions League, recording an amazing 71 goals to his name in 142 appearances across spells with both Real Madrid and Schalke 04 and he spent some time as the all-time goalscorer of the competition before he was dethroned by Lionel Messi in 2014.

Despite that, Raul had a very successful stint in the competition, finishing as top scorer once and claiming the prestigious trophy 3 times with Real Madrid before announcing his retirement in 2015 following spells with Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 and MLS side, New York Cosmos.
