Real Madrid icon Raul claims that if anyone can come back from a four goal deficit it is the boys from the Bernabeu.

Real were humbled 4-0 in their Copa del Rey first-leg match against local outfit Alcorcon - who play two divisions below the capital club - despite fielding a team that included stars such as Raul, Guti and Karim Benzema.

Speaking to Spanish daily Marca the club captain said "The first thing is to apologize because the image is not what this team or the history of this club deserves.

"The tie is not lost despite all that has happened today. This team will take pride. The positive thing is that we have done as bad as we can do and we cannot play that bad again and know that many people want to see us play well and win the game."

And Raul insisted that his side can still win the tie, and must show their resilience in the forthcoming Primera Liga game with Getafe.

"This is football and we have been humbled by a team that has worked with high hope but if a club knows about comebacks, it is Real Madrid. This is a long road, we have a test with the return leg and one in four days against Getafe.

"The great comebacks of the club have occurred because there was always very bad games before. The tie is not lost, we must congratulate Alcorcon but we still have the second leg," Raul declared.
