Real Madrid Legend Raul Bids Emotional Farewell To Blancos
"I'd like to thank everybody for their support throughout the years. The fans, my team-mates, coaches, presidents and the press. I want to say a special word of thanks to my family. I'd be nothing without them. I also want to wish Alfredo Di Stefano a speedy recovery.
Raul ¦ Stands alongside Alfredo Di Stefano in Real Madrid history books
"I will always be ready if Real Madrid need me. Hala Madrid!," ended the legendary number seven before leaving for the pitch of the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 33-year-old made his first team debut for Los Blancos in 1994, having originally started his career across the town with city rivals Atletico Madrid, and has since established himself as one of the Spanish giant's best players of all time.
Raul has yet to reveal where he will ply his trade next term, but the attacker is widely expected to join Bundesliga side Schalke. Reports from Germany suggest that he's set to sign a two-year deal with the Royal Blues and that Raul will be presented to the press on Thursday.

BREAKING NEWS: Angel Di Maria Completes €25 Million Move To Real Madrid The Argentine ace has put pen to paper on a six year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu...
By Paul Macdonald
June 28
Argentina international Angel di Maria has completed his move to Real Madrid from Benfica for a reported fee of €25 million, signing a six-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
A statement on the club's official website reads:
"Real Madrid C. F. and S. L. Benfica have come to terms for the transfer of Angel di Maria. The player will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid C.F."
The exciting 22-year old has been consistently linked with a switch to the Spanish capital, with the player confirming to his former Benfica team-mates that the deal was all but done.
Newly appointed Blancos coach Jose Mourinho had expressly asked for the signature of the flying winger, who is currently representing his nation at the World Cup in South Africa.
Assisted by the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, Real Madrid and Benfica reached an agreement for a fee of €25m, which is €15m less than the buy-out clause in Di Maria’s contract.
Di Maria began his career in 2005 in his homeland with Rosario Central. He moved to Portugal in 2007, and in his final season at the Estadio da Luz he helped Benfica to their first league title in five seasons.
He becomes Jose Mourinho's first signing as Real Madrid coach as he looks to halt Barcelona from winning their third consecutive Primera Division title.
