Real Madrid fans lynch Raul for praising Barça's Leo Messi

Messi equalled a record held by the former Madrid striker with his goal on Saturday

Raul Gonzalez is one of La Liga's ambassadors and he performs his role with complete professionalism. His mission is to promote the league and spread its values and during Barcelona's game against Las Palmas there was an historic moment. 

Lionel Messi scored his side's second goal and it meant that he equalled Raul's record for having scored against 35 different teams in La Liga. Ex-Real Madrid striker Raul took to Twitter to laud Messi for the achievement. 

He wrote: "A pleasure to enjoy your goals every day in #LaLiga" with an image of himself and Messi. 

Itt provoked a frenzied reaction from Madrid fans. The messages on social media from a section of Los Blancos' support were very harsh on one of the club's most emblematic players in their history. The gesture of sportsmanship from Raul became a dagger, in the eyes of these fans of Real Madrid, who expressed themselves through social media.
