Raul helps give Ramos a winning start at Real

JUANDE RAMOS may be wielding a new broom at Real Madrid but it was one of the old guard who starred as the nine-times champions saw off Zenit St Petersburg in their final Champions League Group H game last night.

Veteran forward Raul rolled back the years as he bagged a brace to sandwich a goal by Arjen Robben in a 3-0 win over the Russians and cement runners up spot behind Juventus.

Raul’s goals made him the competition’s all-time top scorer with 66 goals ahead of Filippo Inzaghi and gave a fillip to a side whose confidence has been sagging in recent weeks.
