FOOTBALL: RAUL GONZALEZ



i hope e tonnes of football articles wun bore people 2 death! tis is suppose 2 b a football blog becoz i love football n so i will try 2 publish on all fronts, standing as fair as possible n not siding any sides particularly. of coz, veli clearly stated dat i'm a fan of raul gonzalez. since world cup 1998, i began 2 take notice of him. i started football watching around 1995 when i noticed alan shearer. k, tis article will specially look at his achievement at club level in europe.

e last champions league match against roma saw raul scoring twice. he is e 2nd top scorer in e history of e europe cup ever since e tournament was established in 1955. he has 47 goals, more than portugese eusebio who has 46. e onli better all-time scoring record in e world is e 1 held by alfredo di stéfano. he scored 49 goals. so if raul keeps on hitting e goals, he has e chance 2 surpass e argentian great.

e above record is 2 combine e whole history of europe cup, becoz if we count from e moment dat tis competition changed its name into champions league, then raul is definitely e leader rite now. here's a look at leading scorers of our time in e champions league. van nistelrooy is chasing heavily behind at 37 goals while del piero has 32 goals putting him 3rd. i hope raul can get his 50th goal quick n set a higher standard. now it is just a question of him getting his form back!
