  /  autty

Schalke's relegation from the Bundesliga was confirmed after their 1-0 defeat to Arminia Bielefeld on Tuesday, which provoked a message of support from Raul Gonzalez.

The coach of Castilla played for the Gelsenkirchen club from 2010 to 2012, scoring 40 goals and making 21 assists, and the Real Madrid icon was keen to send his backing to his former employers.

"We love you. Blue and white for life," Raul wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of himself during his time at Schalke.

Raul was adored by the Schalke faithful, as he won a DFB Pokal (2010/11), a DFL-Supercup (2011) and led the team to the semi finals of the Champions League (2010/11).
