Rafael Benitez has claimed that Gonzalo Higuain is among the world's finest marksmen after firing Napoli into the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
The Argentine struck a last-gasp winner as the Partenopei beat Inter Milan 1-0 at Stadio San Paolo on Wednesday night.
The Spaniard began his coaching career with Real Madrid B, where he worked alongside a young Raul, and Benitez says that Higuain reminds him of the legendary hitman.
"Higuain is a great striker and I think one of the best in the world," he told RAI Sports at full time.
"I've worked with many excellent forwards, including Raul when he was only 16 years old."
Napoli face Lazio in the next round.
