Barnon was one of trendiest bars in Spain back in the 90s. Almost every Real Madrid player visited it in their leisure time in an attempt to relax after a tough day of practice sessions.

Raul was no different. Even though he has always kept his private life hidden from the cameras, Barnon was a place he frequently visited—and there was another reason why.

A waitress at the bar enchanted Raul with her beauty. The more he saw her, the more he was mesmerised. And then it happened. In what was a decision that surprised many, Raul and Mamen Sanz got married in 1999.

And they have been together since, becoming the parents of four sons and one daughter. His love for her was always depicted when the legendary Real Madrid man scored a goal—celebrating by kissing his ring finger.
