In August 2002 he made his full international debut in the friendly draw against Hungary and impressed enough to retain his place. <BR><BR>UEFA EURO 2004? qualifying<BR><BR>Started Spain&#39;s first two Group 6 qualifiers before dropping to the bench for 2-2 draw with Ukraine. He returned for the defeat of Northern Ireland and home loss to Greece, after which he did not play again despite being a substitute on three occasions. <BR><BR>Club<BR><BR>Bravo has been highly praised since making his first-team debut in the Primera Divisi&#243;n match against Athletic Club Bilbao at the Santiago Bernab&#233;u on 6 October 2001, replacing the injured Roberto Carlos. In 2000\/01, Bravo was playing with Madrid&#39;s third team in the Spanish fourth division, but the following season the left wing-back was pushing for a place in the side who claimed the UEFA Champions League title, making four appearances in that competition on Madrid&#39;s way to lifting the trophy. He also played in five further league games, including the 2-0 home victory against FC Barcelona. <BR><BR>2002\/03: He played twice for Madrid before, at the end of January 2003, he was loaned to Leeds United AFC. Bravo found it difficult to make his mark in a struggling team and returned to the Spanish capital in the summer. <BR><BR>Did you know?<BR><BR>He once said: &quot;I don&#39;t mind being on the bench for Real Madrid. Roberto Carlos, the best left wing-back in the world, plays in the same position as me and what I have to do is to learn to play alongside him.&quot;","D21B7B52C3154356":"1","2E0C5ADB6636D43E":"181cm","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"Cordoba C.F.","53F6A06F211D096A":"Veria FC","68B71F6A7FE5F18E":"81kg","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"Cordoba C.F.,Germinal Beerschot,Rayo Vallecano,Olympiakos Piraeus,Numancia[on loan],Real Madrid,Leeds United","71450CE0B6A0CA84C96E1AF31F3CA129":"1981-4-14","7850BFBCDDAACDE9":"Raul Bravo Sanfelix","4EFF01CD2A1AA8474DF07D17EF0164A9":"Spain","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2013-8","57C2653B331A7DDA9BB5C336225EACEB":"0","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"","0DC344593C67F298":"5388","e_index":4};
