Real Madrid legend Raul is delighted for James Rodriguez over his success with Bayern Munich.
James is in the first season of a two-year loan from Real and is thriving under the management of veteran coach Jupp Heynckes.
Raul, who has a role now inside the Real front office, told RMC: "It's not easy to arrive in the Bundesliga and adapt directly.
"I'm happy for him, he did great things at Real Madrid and now he's one of the best players in Bayern. I wish him good luck with all my heart."
Raul knows all about the Bundesliga after his spell with Schalke.
