The Real Madrid star was spot on with two well directed headers against Real Sociedad, forcing Barcelona to delay their La Liga celebrations yet again.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 fans may have thought that Sociedad’s spirited showing at Santiago Bernabeu would have brought them the hallowed La Liga title after a one year weight, but Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid had other ideas.
The Portuguese has always stepped up to the occasion when his side has needed someone to come up with that extra spark, and same was the case on Saturday’s evening when Real Madrid faced the threat of a spirited Real Sociedad.
Had the Capital side failed to garner maximum points from the league fixture, bitter rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 would become the champions of the crown that the Whites had captured only lasts season. But Jose Mourinho’s men made sure that they would make their
rivals wait for as long as possible, winning their share of La Liga game at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It again came down to star Cristiano Ronaldo, who notched two goals for the reigning Spanish champions after heading in two great goals.
Sociedad made Real Madrid battle and bruise throughout the game as they wanted the three points as much as their hosts, but in the end, the Portuguese’s magic was too much to counter.
Madrid ran out 4-2 winners on the eve and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 scored his goal number 32 and 33 for the league, representing the capital outfit.
Ronaldo’s first goal came from a cross from a corner and the second came in similar fashion too, heading in a Mesut Ozil cross with great technique.
The former Manchester United winger made sure that Madrid would shrug off the disappointment of their elimination from the UEFA Champions League by the hands of German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund and he came back on scoring terms as he had failed to find
the net in the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734, before that, had scored in 6 consecutive Champions League games, a record that was set by the winger this season.
After the victory, Madrid will now be looking to set their eyes on the prize at stake in the Copa finale against city rivals Atletico Madrid.
