Raul remains confident Real Madrid can overcome their defeat at the Bernabeu and knock Liverpool out of the Champions League at Anfield.
Primera Liga giants Real travel to Merseyside on Tuesday night for the second leg of their last-16 tie trailing their opponents 1-0 after Yossi Benayoun struck late on in Spain a fortnight ago.
However, Raul - the top scorer in Real's history and in the Champions League - insists he and his team-mates possess the ability to upset Rafael Benitez's Reds at Anfield.
The hosts are notoriously strong in front of their home supporters in continental competition, but captain Raul feels that Real manager Juande Ramos will coax the required performance.
"We have a clear idea of what we have to do - score twice," Raul said in The Times. "The other day we were hit strongly by the defeat, but we know we are going to have our chances and we are not going to give up.
"We are capable of beating Liverpool at Anfield. Since the arrival of Juande Ramos we are more disciplined.
"At the beginning of the season we had a lot of problems - we were scoring goals, but letting them in as well and that cost us a lot of points. We are now in good shape, above all physically and mentally."
