Real Madrid's constellation of stars think it is time for their team-mate Raul to be elected as 'best player of the World' a thus be rewarded with France Football's 'Ballon d'Or'.
Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane, both past winners of the Golden Ball, say Raul deserves it this year for what he achieved on the pitch with Real.
The Portuguese virtuoso said Raul was "more than a contender", while Zidane claimed "Raul deserves the award because he's really good".
But Raul looks set to face stiff competition from AS Roma's Francesco Totti, Liverpool's Michael Owen and Bayern's Oliver Kahn.
Former Barcelona and Inter star Luis Suarez is the only Spaniard to have been awarded the Ballon d'Or ever.
