Roma captain Francesco Totti has lauded former Real Madrid hitman Raul after he left the club for German side Schalke 04.

Raul enjoyed a stellar career at the Bernabeu in which he won the lot. And Totti, a club legend himself with the Giallorossi, has paid honour to the monumental Spanish striker.

"Sixteen years with the Real Madrid shirt, 323 goals and 741 games... [they are] figures that leave you with your mouth open," Totti told his official website.

"Apart from being one of the strongest players in Spanish football, he was the soul of Real Madrid.

"I have always admired him. For me he is a great, one that deserved to win the Ballon d'Or.

"He could cover any role and he had goals in his blood.

"Players like him are few and this is why I want to render his honour."
