Raúl González Blanco joined fellow Real Madrid greats at the club's fan zone in Milan ahead of tonight's Champions League final against city rivals Atlético.

Appearing on stage alongside Paco Gento, Amancio Amaro, Predrag Mijatovic and Roberto Carlos, Raúl was on the end of a rapturous welcome at the Real supporters' area on Via Burchiello, some 4.5km from match venue the San Siro.

"We have to beat our big rivals and take the European Cup back to Cibeles," declared the former Spain international - to wild appreciation among the roughly 600 Madridistas present.

And Florentino Pérez beware: the 38-year-old, a three-time Champions League winner during his Real career, was even met with chants of "Raúl for president!"
