February 21, 200718 yr Raúl after the match"I would have liked my two goals to be the final gap between both teams, but it wasn't meant to be.""With the attitude and the level of our game tonight, we have many chances of going through in Germany.""It's not a bad result for the return match. We could have foolishly thought that the tie was won when we were up 3-1. Now we know that we have to go to Munich to score goals and win the game. Most importantly, I think we made our fans proud and I think they saw some patches of great football."
February 21, 200718 yr Top scorer of the ChampionsRaúl's 56 goals are three more than Shevchenko's; V.Nistelrooy is third with 52The Real Madrid captain's two goals against Bayern Munich on Tuesday not only paved the way to a Madridista victory, but they also put distance between the all-time top scorer of the Champions League and the runner up. Raúl's 56 strikes in Europe's most prestigious competition are three better than Chelsea's Shevchenko and four more than Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who also increased his tally against the Bavarians last night.Raúl González Blanco, captain of Real Madrid, has set many records throughout his professional football career, and one of the most important and impressive is, without a doubt, being the all-time top scorer of the Champions League, Europe's most prestigious competition. His two goals (56) against Bayern helped carry the Whites to victory, put the fans in a frenzy, and gave him a little breathing room between the second top scorer, Andrei Shevchenko (53).Another Madridista, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, is also at the top of the Champions League scoring table. Goals were always his best ally when playing for PSV Eindhoven and Manchester United, and while donning the white shirt this season he has already added five to the books for a total of 52.Top scorers of this edition of the competitionFurthermore, last night's strikes by the Spaniard and the Dutchman put the two players at the top of the scoring table of this year's edition of the Champions League.
