The Real Madrid great has heaped praise on La Liga's finest pairing, as the spaniard puts himself behind the heavily admired Portugal and Argentina internationals
He's a three-time Champions League winner and won La Liga six times but Real Madrid legend Raul could not find himself in a team ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Raul was asked to name his ideal fantasy side, which unsurprisingly included the Ballon d'Or top two after labelling the pair as "simply the greatest" ahead of Saturday's blockbuster Clasico.
Once Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer (323) and the Champions League's record scorer (71), Raul watched Ronaldo shatter both of his achievements, while Messi has also netted more goals in Europe's premier competition.
"They are simply the greatest," the 38-year-old former Spain international, who retired in November, told the Daily Mail.
"I will have to make do with a place on the substitute's bench."
Despite his phenomenal record at the Santiago Bernabeu and a league-best haul of 28 goals in 30 games this term, Ronaldo has come under scrutiny as Madrid struggle to keep pace with the runaway Camp Nou leaders.
