Part 2: Getafe vs. Real Madrid – Match Preview
The Portuguese captain scored a fabulous individual goal to help his team lead the game 3-1.
It was his second goal of the night and he simply showed that he is not “over rated” in terms of goal scoring.
The former Manchester United man has been prone to criticism throughout the Spanish La Liga and there are some fans who think that the Barcelona man, Lionel Messi, is better than him as a striker.
Comparing them both is not a wise option. While the Portuguese captain is a fabulous individual player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 brings a lot to the team with his eventful moments. Both of them are great players and there is no doubt that players of their calibre do
not have an off night.
The Real Madrid number 7 got past three Getafe defenders and caught their goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 barely miss a chance to score.
The Portuguese star shot the ball in the bottom right corner and got the goal that his team was looking for. With a two goal lead, Real Madrid got the breathing space.
Later, Juan Albin got the ball at his feet inside the 18 yard box after a defensive mistake from Sergio Ramos. The Real Madrid centre back failed to clear the ball in a crucial situation and Juan Albin was present at the right place.
With a very close range, the Getafe player made no mistake in planting the ball into the net as he shot the ball past the Real Madrid number 1, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815.
However, the goal did not come without the help of another defensive mistake which was made by Alvaro Arbeloa. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 full back got a second yellow which earned him a red card and gave the home team an extra man’s advantage.
Real Madrid was already suffering from selection crises at the back and with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-Carvalho-c30973, were both missing out on this fixture due to suspensions.
Jose Mourinho definitely had good centre backs to replace these players as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 teamed up in the centre. On the left it was the Brazilian full back, Marcelo, while Albaro Arbeloa joined the defensive lineup by defending on the right.
