He started his professional career in the 1994–95 season with Real Madrid C; he scored 13 goals in just seven games.
Raúl has not been chosen for the national team since September 2006, following a 3–2 defeat against Northern Ireland in Belfast, a game in which Raúl hit the post late on, including the UEFA Euro 2008 final tournament, as Luis Aragonés preferred Fernando Torres and David Villa as his first choice strike force. Raúl's clubmate and goalkeeper Iker Casillas succeeded him as captain and also lifted the FIFA World Cup in 2010, which Spain also won.
