[edit] NPOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, this article is a mess and it's clearly written as a fanatic article rather than a encyclopedic one. Also, the wording and grammar are horrible and need to be fixed...I'll try to help fix and hope that more people may do as well. Udonkome (talk) 03:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The angel of Madrid?

I'm spaniard, a Real supporter, and I've never heard o readed such nickname. --Ignacio Egea 12:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


As many other i to consi Morientes to be a great attacker and as them i hope that he and Raùl are (still) friends despide them playing for different clubs in La liga. But i can not see why i or enyone else should read about there friendship (or lack of same) in this article.

First, this is not the place to debate about this. Here we have to debate about the article itself, how it is presented, if the info it contains is correct and so on. Raystorm, May 15 2006, 23:21h

Who edited the appearances/goals part? I don't think it's very correct, since a football magazine of like two months ago says he scored 180 goals, and I doubt he scored 82 goals in such a short time. Maybe the magazine was incorrect, but could someone at least explain this to me? Were it only league goals, or what? Oh, and on a sidenote, Torres is probably one of the most overrated players of the moment, and certainly not better than Raúl. Now I'll follow Raystorm's advice as well. ;) - DraugenCP, October 2 2006, 0:01h.

I've changed the stats back to correct several times but someone allways change the to wrong, as of 3 October 2006 he has played 416 games and scored 181 goals acording to lfp.es witch provide stats direct from the referees.

[edit] His Nose

I heard that his nose look like a brid's beak and too long as a result of his Moor ancestry. Is this true?--122.106.220.109 (talk) 05:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Players scoring in three world cups

The record amount of players who have scored in their third world cup during the current tournament, plus the count by ESPN which I find inaccurate, plus the recent edits in this article saying he was the 4th ever to do it, then the 8th, etc. lead me to enter my list here; according to this list, he is the 18th player to score in 3 World cups. I hope someone can comment on this, on whether this is an agreeable list, or correct any errors. Thanks in advance. ChaChaFut 02:59, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the god father...."raul"

the article previous is more than perfect ..i think it is alittle short ...cause "raul" is the best player in the world ..in my opinoion .. and any one says raul is not among the greatest players ever been is a fool....and doesnt understand football...he my have been seen 2 or3 matches of raul and he seems saw 2 or 3 matchs in his whole life....u cant compare torres of raul...i admit that torrs is talented young player but raul..........what can i say .they dont worth respond . and b.s "forlan" is not spanish...and u cant just mention his name beside raul.. raul is the best striker in the world..his talent....his manners ...his leadership of the team ...his love for real madrid,, deserves to be the "seven" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.202.89.51 (talk) 15:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Raúl's scoring stats from the youth teams

In the early 90's, I believe Marca had printed Raúl's youth stats from San Cristobal through Real Madrid as well as his international youth career. I haven't been able to a copy. Is there anyone that has the info? Raul17 22:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

raul really is a great player and i think real madrid shouldn`t let him go because he is the symbol of the team. also, he has done so much for real madrid that i say he should end his career in madrid.

[edit] Raul Madrid

If my information is right Raul scored those 194 goals only in Spanish League. Playing for Real he scored much more(also in Champions' League, Spanish Cup,...). Raul of coarse is one of the best players in the world and currently the best in my opinion. Today by saying Real Madridthe first that comes to your mind is RAUL. No one can compare to him by his dedication on the pitch, by his conception of the game and thinking. After Zidane's left he is definitly the best in the world. I hope he will never leave the greatest club in the world and will end his career there.

[edit] Biography

I just placed a POV tag on his biography section, and I'm hoping someone could look into it a bit. I'm currently too busy to tidy it up, but I'm hoping someone could help make it a bit more neutral? thanks -JacќяМ ¿Qué? 18:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Achievements

" 2 goals in 3 UEFA Champions League Finals "? what does this mean? Does it mean he scored 2 goals in 3 Champions league finals? If it so, how can that be? he scored 1 goal in 1 match and 1 goal in 2 matchs? (each match he scored 1/2 goal???)G.nguyenquang 21:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

  • wow you are slow...Udonknome 03:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

1 goal in 2002 and 2000 no goal in 1998 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirarbeli (talk • contribs) 17:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Raul scoring in Spainsh cup

His stats in the spanish cup are : 15 goals in 33 matchs. So I don't know who always change this into 20 goals in 37 matchs but it's false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.2.96.210 (talk) 00:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sleeps in a special oxygen room

Independent has reports out today that raul sleeps in an o2 room to help cope with with aging. One of many aging superstar footballers with interesting additions to retain their edge; shevchenko for instance with his olymic sprinting coaches... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.110.84.99 (talk) 10:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

Hi there, just to notify you that there is a request for List of goals scored by Raúl González to be merged into this article. J Milburn (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Source: goal.com

According to this article [1] (from: goal.com), it says:
"He (Raul) was the youngest player ever to score 50 goals, reaching that number at the age of twenty on the third day of the 97/98 season. Also, he was youngest to get to 100 (at 22, on day 33 of 99-00) and to reach 150 (at 25, day 24 of 02-03)"
I think this information on Raul, however apply to La Liga only! G.nguyenquang (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Goals Discrepancy

In the achievements section it says he has scored 200 la liga goals and then says he has scored 63 champions league goals; which means he must have a minimum of 263 career goals, but the stats section only shows 200 goals. Can someone please clear this up.190.58.3.112 (talk) 01:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
