Rijkaard: I'd Give The Golden Ball To Raul

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard believes Raul, of bitter rivals Real Madrid, should win the European Footballer of the Year award.

"There are many players who could gain the Golden Ball, I believe that Raul always has had high productivity," he said.

"I would give it to him. Maldini could receive it as well for his sports career, but I would give it to Raul."
