SpainCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time, Raúl made over 1,000 appearances in his career and stands as the all-time Spanish top goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League with 71 goals. — Wikipedia
