Cristiano Ronaldo is not Real Madrid's best ever player despite being the club's all-time record scorer, according to Dani Carvajal.
Defender Carvajal was a team-mate of Ronaldo until the Portugal captain left Madrid to join Juventus this summer.
But although he rates Ronaldo highly, Carvajal believes former Spain striker Raul remains the greatest player to ever represent Real.
Asked who he saw as Real's best player of all time, Carvajal replied: 'Raul. I identify with him a lot.
'He is a squad player, a player who won everything based on work and effort.
'I think it's not the player that you say, "He's the fastest, he's the one who has the best control of the ball, the one who better heads-up".
'But he did everything right. For the goals he has done, for what he has given Real Madrid, for me - he is the flagship player of Real Madrid.'
Ronaldo left Real having scored 450 goals at a rate of more than one per game.
Raul, who is Real's second most prolific scorer in history, ended his career with 323 goals, which came at a rate of 0.41 per match.

I have no issues with his opinion "IF" he had the balls to say it while Ronaldo was at the club, saying it behind the back is pure cowardice, besides ronaldos stats speak for them selves, yes he may have not been the most friendly person, but let's not kid ourselves here, this is not Sunday league they are "professional" footballers who are "paid" to do a job, not make friends, and we all know Ronaldo did one hell of a job the likes of which has never been achieved by anyone in a real madrid kit...

Early champions league exit on the cards for real this year without ronaldo He was the only reason they won anything at all This team had benzema out of form, bale injured, and he stood up Apart from the midfield and ronaldo they have no positives Carvajal himself goes missing in important moments Ramos is overrated beside an extremely talented varane Seriously those saying ramos is the best CB should see godin..

No comments about the ledgend Ronaldo. He was the man machine behind each Victory of Real Madrid. Don't talk all nonsense about one who has done a great job at Madrid that also after he has left for Juventus. It was sheer foolishness to sell him on part of Real and the worst decision by prez florentizo and its officials. None to beat Messi and Ronaldo. Hats off to them.

Zidane led Real Madrid to win three consecutive UEFA Champions League. ... and he became the Only Coach in the history of football to achieve this feat... CR7 at Real Madrid without *Zidane*: 1 UCL and 1 Laliga in the first 6 years.. CR7 at Real Madrid with *Zidane*: 3 UCL and 1 Laliga in the last 3 years... Zidane left... CR7 forced to leave Real Madrid to win at least two domestic cups, Serie A and Copa Italia... Feel the differences..
