Raul Gonzalez Blanco leaves professional football. That kid 17 years that debuted in the Romareda in 1994 and he made a his first goal Atletico Madrid in a derby a week later, hangs boots 21 years after the Real Madrid saw one of the best strikers in the history of Spanish football.

The Spanish makes wearing the shirt of NY Cosmos after scoring a time of 16 years in the first team and Real Madrid have worn T-shirts and Al Sadd Schalke. And it does so with a title under his arm. Raul another player who has contributed much to Spanish football is also removed, belonging to that team that won the Euro 2008, Marcos Senna.

However, neither Raul, than Senna, are the only legends removed in NY Cosmos. As we told you in our article on the old COSMOS 70 New York team, possibly he gathered the first galactic history. Precisely in the city of skyscrapers and T-Shirt Cosmos, He retired which is for many the king of football, the great Pele. Fue en 1977, Curiously, the year he was born Raul, with the Giants stadium (where played that Cosmos) to the flag.

Another myth that football left in that old Cosmos was the Káiser, Beckenbauer. He did it in 1983 in the second stage in the Cosmos, in the earlier he had played with Pele. The truth is that this was not that Cosmos, since that disappeared and was refounded in 2013. Nor is the first category NASL American Football (is the MLS) although in the 70 if it was but they all withdrew with the title under his arm. From today you can say that in the Cosmos played many stars like Pele, Beckenbauer and Raul Gonzalez Blanco.
