Spanish star Raul confirms retirement

SPANISH striker Raul, the 38-year-old former Real Madrid star now playing for the New York Cosmos, said he will retire when the minor-league club’s season ends next month.

Raul began his pro career at Real Madrid in 1994 and spent 16 years with the Spanish side, sparking the capital side to six La Liga crowns, four Spanish Super Cups and three UEFA Champions League titles.

He departed in 2010 as Real Madrid’s all-time top goal scorer with 323, which was recently being equalled by Cristiano Ronaldo on September 30th.

After netting 40 goals in 98 matches for Germany’s Schalke 04 and helping the Bundesliga side to the 2011 Champions League semifinals, he departed in 2012 for Qatari side Al-Sadd and retired in 2014 only to make a comeback late last year with the Cosmos.
