Raul set to work his magic for Real

REAL MADRID striker Raul returns for the defending champions in tonight’s second leg of their delicately poised semi-final with Juventus in Turin.

Ronaldo may partner Raul, the top scorer in Champions League history, as the nine-time winners aim for a record 13th final. Brazilian Ronaldo has been struggling with a calf injury, but was optimistic yesterday of playing some part in the match.

"I feel good and everything is going well. As each hour passes, I feel optimistic and believe I can play," the striker said. "I desperately want to help the squad win this massive game."
