He will reach the centennary mark if he plays against Iceland on Tuesday

Raúl González, forward for Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, is only one match away from playing his 100th cap, and he will reach said figure should he play in tomorrow's friendly against Iceland in Reykjavik. With 126 matches played, goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta is the only Spaniard with more caps than the Madrid player, who made his national team debut almost ten years ago, on 9 October 1996 against the Czech Republic in what was a qualifying match for the 1998 French World Cup.



Raúl has scored 44 goals during his career with the Reds. The last came in the group stage of the 2006 German World Cup when Spain took on Tunisia. However, he became Spain's all-time top scorer three years prior, on 12 February 2003, when he surpassed former Real Madrid defender Fernando Hierro, with 31 scores.
"He's a 'Ferrari' that will fly past all of us and break every Spanish football record," stated Hierro, the former national team captain three years ago. It was Raúl who pushed Hierro into the third spot of Spanish players with the most caps when the former donned the red shirt for the 89th time.

For now, the 29 year old forward, who is considered by his teammates as the leader both on and off the field, has played in three World Cups (France 1998, Korea & Japan 2002, and Germany 2006) and two Eurocups (Belgium & Holland 2000 and Portugal 2004).



99 caps for Spain
Raúl's 99 matches with the Reds greaty exceed the caps of all the other men called up by Luis Aragonés for the friendly against Iceland. The two closest players to his staggering figure are Real Madrid teammates, keeper Iker Casillas and winger Michel Salgado, with 61 and 51 caps, respectively.

At the Club level, Raúl's numbers are also amazing. He made his Real Madrid debut at the early age of 17, when he played against Zaragoza on 29 October 1994. In his 12 years playing for Madrid's first team, he has tallied an impressive list of honours.

Raúl has won everything: Four Liga titles, three Spanish Supercups, three European Cups, one European Supercup, and two Intercontinental Cups. He's been the Spanish League's top scorer on two ocassions, the top scorer in two editions of the Champions League, and he has won one Silver Boot award, two Bronze Boot awards, and in 2001 he won the Bronze FIFA World Player Award.

However, he is still missing the titles that have eluded the Spanish national team. But, should Luis Aragonés line Raúl up against Iceland in tomorrow's friendly, he can be proud to have played in his 100th match for his country.
