Raul puts in the hard yards

The evergreen former Real Madrid ace, 33, is as fit and hungry for success as ever.

In the 7-3 aggregate thumping of holders Inter Milan in the quarter-finals, Raul covered more ground than anyone else.

And he is ready to go that extra yard to destroy the Red Devils' Euro dreams.

Raul said: "I'm very happy at Schalke and in perfect shape.

"This is what we train for and we work hard on getting ourselves in great physical condition. We will also have to cover a lot of ground against United.

"They're a good side but we must go out and enjoy ourselves. I'm hoping we'll be successful."

Spanish legend Raul is the most lethal striker in Champions League history with 71 goals and won the tournament three times with Real.

He added: "Have I had enough yet? No, it's fun again.

"That's also why I came to Schalke. I was at Real for 16 years and needed a change.

"As long as my body can cope, I want to play."
