Mature Real enjoying life with steaming with a Cristiano Ronaldo – La Liga News
Spanish giants, Real Madrid, are enjoying life with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 leading from the front. The Portuguese scored a brace against Lyon at Stade de Gerland to demolish the French team.
Real are playing with maturity they have failed to display in recent years, in addition to cohesive displays for which http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are famous for. They have thrashed one opponent after the other, and have everything to play for as the season unfolds.
A highlight of their campaign thus far has been their performances against Olympique Lyon. In their UEFA Champions League ties, they have dispatched their hoodoo team with ease which is a much welcome change in trend.
They have gone from losing 3-0, 2-0 and 1-0 at Stade de Gerland to earning a hard earned draw last season, and have followed it up with a thumping 0-2 win. The result does not show the superiority of the Spanish club, who should have been up 3-0 at half
time.
If a player has to be singled out for Real’s performances, that player has to be Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese has been inspirational in their nine-game winning streak.
He has 9 goals to his name in this period, an average of one goal per game. His double in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 to thank for. Had Lloris not made the magnanimous saves in front of home crowd, Lyon would have suffered badly.
Real’s other attackers are not bystanders like seasons past and have joined in the effort. Higuain has added 7, while Benzema is last in the trio with an impressive 4 goals to his name. Brazilian attacking midfielder Kaka has found the back of the net regularly,
also assisting 4 goals thus far.
Angel di Maria has joined the party after starting the season on the bench. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international has one goal to his name, however, it’s not his goal scoring that has allowed Real to thrash their opponents, rather than his teamwork.
The former Benfica man has laid down 7 assists thus far in La Liga, and is leading the charts. He has managed to overshadow Mesut Ozil in the process, the German international with five to his name.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 captain has 5 in La Liga, and 7 in all competitions. He is already half way down his tally of the 2010/11 season and equalled his showings in the 2009/10 campaign.
