Esteban Granero says no-one dare challenges Real Madrid captain Raul.

Raul celebrated becoming the club's appearances record holder by scoring twice on Saturday in victory over Real Valladolid.

Midfielder Granero said: "It's hard to argue with Raul. Nobody argues with him at Real Madrid. He is the same as always, scoring goals every time he has the opportunity."

Granero added: "We are self critical and have our feet on the ground. We must work to improve. In the first-half we have been pretty good, although in the second we have dropped a bit, but we controlled the game."
