He is the champion of the Champions. Raul Gonzalez Blanco’s story will forever be linked with that of Europe’s premier club competition; he may no longer be the tournament’s top scorer - having been overtaken by Barcelona's Lionel Messi and former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo - but he remains synonymous with the continent's top tournament.
On Sunday, Raul brings down the curtain on a spectacular playing career and he can do so by adding another trophy to his collection: a NASL title with NY Cosmos if they can beat Ottawa Fury FC. It would be the 22nd piece of silverware since his debut in 1994 and a fitting end for a modern-day icon.
