Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to former club captain Raul.
Raul signed with Schalke 04 yesterday after announcing his departure earlier this week.
"Since childhood I dreamed about playing alongside Raul. It was an honor to share a dressing room with him, and I wish him all the best in his new career," said Ronaldo.
Real striker Karim Benzema also remarked: "As a player he is an example for all footballers and youth primarily because he is a mirror in which to look into.
"He's a great person and a symbol of Real Madrid and Spanish football."
