Ronaldo scored from outside the box against Levante in the first half to move clear of Raul as the club's highest goalscorer of all time.

Ronaldo has played just 310 matches for his club, while Raul has appeared 741 times for Real over a span of 16 years.



Ronaldo has now scored 12 goals in his last nine appearances for the club. Ronaldo had earlier levelled Raul's record with a brace against Malmo in the Champions League.

The Portugese, who joined Real Madrid in 2009 for a then world record fee, now has 502 goals in his name for club and country.

He  has scored 324 times for Real Madrid in 310 appearances. He also has 231 Liga goals in 208 appearances and is currently fourth in the all time La Liga topscorer charts behind Hugo Sanchez, Telmo Zarra and Lionel Messi.

The 30 year old has averaged around fifty goals per season since his arrival at Madrid and has already won a Champions League, a La Liga title and two Copa Del Reys with Real Madrid.

He recently won the Golden boot for being Europe's top goalscorer and has won the last two Ballon d'Ors as well.

Raúl out here doing things like this in the box. GOAL! #NYCosmos #NYCvJAX

Raúl in New York to finalise his move to NY Cosmos

Former star and idol of Real Madrid Raúl González Blanco, 37, is set to move to the New York Cosmos.

At 37, Raul Gonzalez should continue his career in the New York Cosmos, after finishing his contract in July with Al Sadd.

New York Cosmos and Raúl González Blanco are in contact again after a gap of three months, with negotiations going on although nothing has been finalized.

Raúl watched New York Cosmos play a NASL (2nd tier of US soccer) match against Indy Eleven which ended 0-0. The ex-Real Madrid striker watched the game from the VIP area with various Cosmos officials.

Cosmos are hoping to sign Raúl in the January window as the transfer window for new signings for the American soccer leagues closed on October 6th

Raul is keen to keep playing but is also attracted to the possibility of coaching and he sees the United States as a perfect starting point due to the ongoing development and progression that football is experiencing in the US.
