According to the Madrid legend, he thoroughly enjoyed the much-awaited fixture as he insisted that it was a game to remember.
Real Madrid locked horns with Barcelona in this season’s first La Liga El Clasico this past Sunday.
The match that took place at the Nou Camp saw Jose Mourinho’s men come away with one point as the encounter concluded with the final result of 2-2.
To the joy of football audiences all over the world, the match remained all open throughout the 90 minutes of play and both sides were able to put up an impressive display of football.
Although Barca were seen as the better side in the match, Los Vikingos were the ones who took the lead after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 found the back of the net to give his side the advantage.
However, the Whites were wasteful in front of goal which proved costly as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 brought his team level on terms before the half-time break.
The Argentine was able to break through the Madrid defence in order to score the first goal for his club.
The second half saw the Catalan giants take the lead as another goal by Messi gave them a valuable advantage. However, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 who scored the equalizer this time as the Merengues were right back in the match.
Raul believes that the result of the match is ideal as it is exactly what the two teams deserved.
"I would obviously have liked it if had Madrid won the game and closed the gap on Barca a bit, but a draw was a fair result in my opinion," he told Al Jazeera.
"Both teams were on top of their game and put in a good performance, looking for a reward in the form of the full three points. Neither of the teams got the victory they were after, but it was a game to remember.
"The title race isn't over just yet. There are still many games to be played. It's true that Barcelona are in a better position, though, as they maintained their eight-point lead."
Barcelona will continue their stay at the top of the league table as they are still unbeaten in the season so far.
