Real Madrid legend Raul retired on a high on Sunday as New York Cosmos won their seventh North American Soccer League title, making it an astonishing 22 titles in 21 seasons for the Spanish striker.
Cosmos beat 10-man Ottawa Fury 3-2 to claim the US second tier title at the Shuart Stadium, their home ground, with a hat-trick from Gaston Cellerino sealing the deal.
Raul played the full match and while he failed to find the net in a landmark game, he set up his team-mate for the third goal in the 85th minute.
Raul joined the Cosmos at the end of 2014, four years after leaving Real Madrid, where he spent 16 years - winning six La Liga and three Champions League titles. He was also the club's leading all-time scorer before Cristiano Ronaldo recently overtook him.
