Valencia striker David Villa has revealed he has set his sights on besting Raul's goalscoring record for Spain.

The Real Madrid striker currently leads the way with 44 goals in 102 games for the European champions.

Villa has a better goals-to-games ration with 35 in 54 appearances and believes the national team record is within his reach.

"I have the utmost respect for Raul. I do not plan a date for that," he said when asked about the record.

"I go onto the field to do my job which is helping the team and scoring goals. Having said that, the earlier I achieve it the better for Spain.

"Spain has several players capable of giving a lethal final pass. I'm very lucky to have so many good people behind me.

"My job is to move, give options for a pass and be quick into score."
