The captain reviewed his career on the day he broke Sanchis' record

Raul became the player with the most official games with Real Madrid against Olympique Marseille. After the match, the striker reviewed his career on Cadena Cope.
Records
"I am very happy about all the records I've established, and I am especially delighted with the one regarding how many games I've played. Manolo Sanchis and the team's veterans protected me when I made my debut. They also gave me advice. I never thought I would reach their numbers. I've been here for 15 years and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm happy because I've always worked hard. This year's project is fantastic and we are having a good start to the season. We are enjoying ourselves."

Career
"I think each event has its own time and place. Sanchis, Chendo, Hierro, Laudrup, Zamorano, Alkorta... They all treated me like a son. I tried to learn from them. I played with Manolo until 2001 and 've always learned something from the veterans. It is now my turn to help newcomers adapt to the team. Real Madrid has always been united. It is paramount for the team to achieve its goals."

"Atletico Madrid has always been a special team for me because of the stint I had there in the past. I have great respect for the club and wish them all the best."

Public image
"I don't usually talk more than I should. I prefer to talk on the pitch. Everything I've ever done has had some sort of significance, but I'm used to that now."

Memories
"I have important memories, but I'll need time to examine everything in detail. I will use one of the rooms in my house to display certain objects I will have to select. I have many shirts and I hope to get some more."

Successor
"It's hard to choose a player in particular. He will have to have character and drive. I hope we end up having someone who's better than all of us; it would be good for the Club."

Excellent form
"I am grateful because I've always been in good hands. The Club's physiotherapists, especially Pedro Chueca, have always taken good care of me. I've missed very few games; I was only out for three months when I once injured my knee."

"You have to recover well after a match, eat well, rest... Everything counts and I haven't done too badly."

"It would be nice to end my career without ever seeing a red card or missing a game for seeing too many bookings. I am proud of that so far, especially because I''ve never shied from clashing with other players."

Spanish national team
"I don't think I'm ruled out to join the team at this time, but I want to be fit for the Club. We must all support the national team so that they do well in the World Cup."

Benched against Olympique Marseille
"I have to accept the fact that I will be benched in some games. We all like to play, especially in the Champions League. I was dying to play in the second half, but I would have started to think about our next game if I hadn't played. We are all getting chances to perform and I think we are all doing well."

The team's current situation
"We must take each game at a time. We took an important step today because we defeated Marseille and Milan lost. We have to qualify as group leaders because it will do us good and will allow us to play the return leg at home. We have a good squad and we don't want the obsession everyone has about us winning titles to affect us. We will try to achieve our goals with our physical and psychological strength."

"We are striving to play well. We should be happy with our solid defensive work and with our strength in attack. We have to keep possession more and be a little calmer and more patient. I think we are on the right path. Fans will enjoy themselves more this year."

Madrid 2016
"I was lucky to be in Singapore for the voting of the city to host the 2012 Olympic Games. I think Madrid's candidacy is great. I hope we host the Olympics."
