Raúl Bravo Sanfélix (born 14 April 1981) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Greek club Aris Thessaloniki FC. Mainly a left back, he can also play in the centre.
Having played in almost all the youth ranks at Real Madrid, he went on to have a six-year spell in the first team, where he almost always served as a backup; however, it was during that period that he reached the Spain national side, representing them at Euro 2004.
Bravo also competed several years in Greece, most notably with Olympiacos where he won six major titles including three national championships.
Bravo was born in Gandia, Valencian Community. After playing in his early years with two local clubs, he joined Real Madrid's youth system at 16. He was subsequently part of the Junior A side, and played for them two more seasons before arriving at the C-team in Tercera División, moving to Real Madrid Castilla in Segunda División B for 2001–02.
International call-ups of some players in the first team gave Bravo the chance for a La Liga debut against Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabéu, on 6 October 2001, and he played 71 minutes in a 2–0 win. He ended up training with the main squad – under Vicente del Bosque's management – very often, which eventually led to his permanent stay from the 2002–03 campaign onwards.
