#1 Raúl González Blanco
Clubs: Real Madrid, Schalke 04
El Capitan himself, Raúl was one of the greatest ever strikers to ever come out of Spain and Europe.
Trending
His style of play; harrying defenders, running the channels, finding space where none seems to exist and an innate ability to find the back of the net almost at will coupled with a vision and intelligence that is rare these days mark him out as one of the best in the Golden Age.
The greatest Number 7 in the history of Real Madrid (before Cristiano Ronaldo arrived of course) embodied everything that was good about Real Madrid and won more medals than every other person on this list.
His records for goals for both Real Madrid & Spain may have been eclipsed by Ronaldo and David Villa respectively but his legacy remains undiminished. Due to the fact that he spent most of his career at the Santiago Bernabeu, he got to play more UCL games than the others on this list; 142 in all.
His record of 71 goals in these 142 games tells the story of a world-class striker better than most. He remains the 3rd highest goalscorer in the history of the competition. With 3 trophies (1998, 2000 and 2002), Raúl left an indelible mark on the competition.
