A http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 inspired Real Madrid came from a goal behind to salvage the three points on offer against Granada on their away fixture.
Real Madrid registered yet another victory to march their way to 100 La Liga points of the season. The Capital club are on course to trump the efforts of Pep Guardiola’s charges, a 99 point record they set up at the culmination of 2009/10 season.
Jose Mourinho’s men were made to work hard by their unfancied hosts. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Franco-Jara-c14063 scored in only the fifth minute of the match to give the hosts the lead. Los Blancos’ players worked hard to find a way back into the match and were finally rewarded for their
efforts in the final 10 minutes of the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo led from the front as he scored his 59th goal of the season. The former Manchester United player’s strike brought the Capital club to level terms as the score board showed 81 minutes.
However, the final nail in the coffin came from Granada’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 cross in injury time.
Real Madrid assistant manager, Aitor Karanka was full of praise for the resilience shown by El Granada in the match and claimed that a draw would have been a proper reflection of the match.
However, he stated that such things happen in the beautiful game and, are part and parcel of what happens on the pitch.
He added that they have full respect for Granada, who gave Real Madrid a tough time on the ground.
“We showed today that we have respect for all our rivals in this competition," Karanka said.
"A fairer result would have been a draw but these things happen in football. I wish Granada the best, but they paid the price for not killing the game earlier.”
"We still have objectives for the season, like helping Cristiano Ronaldo [win the Pichichi] and earning 100 points, but we always respect the opponents."
The last weekend of 2011/12 La Liga season pits Real Madrid against Joaquin Caparros’ Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu.
