By Elizabeth Hanchett, writing from New York. Elizabeth is an FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao and Spain NT supporter from the United States, although she has spent most of her life in Spain. She has been following La Liga off-and-on since 1997 (on since around 2007).
After a press conference held yesterday in Madrid announcing that Real Madrid’s Guti was leaving the team, it was announced that there would also be a press conference with Madrid and Spanish legend Raúl to discuss his future as well.
And today, Real Madrid bade him farewell, and Raúl said good-bye to the fans. It was the final moment of a career which began in 1994, of a player who made his first cap for Spain in 1996, and since then has scored 323 goals on the club level in all competitions, and who is currently the leading goalscorer for the Spanish national team, with 44 goals.
I’m not even a big Real fan, but this made me sad.
