Just another important win for Real Madrid as they try to keep up with the league leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and they pull it out in a very good passion too. Mallorca was to be said not playing at their best but I think credit should be given enough to the Los Blancos who had taken advantage of their skills, talent and strategy. There are changes still since some key players were out, again we see Modric starting with Ozil, there's Essien and Ramos who played different positions not the same as before, and the result was thus amazing. First goal was as early on the 8th minute with Higuain coming from a pass and a poor defending of Mallorca. The shot was just perfect. Then second goal came from non other than Cristiano Ronaldo who had scored 8 consecutive times now, longest he had here in Real Madrid beating his previous of 7. That goal came from Higuain's pass with two other namely Ozil and Di Maria setting up the play. Halftime sees 0-2 for away team. Mallorca only had once chance and it was magnificently saved by The Saint Iker.
Second half sees more dominance from Real Madrid and a little showing and resistance from the home side. Third goal came from again Higuain and this time Cristiano Ronaldo return the favor to him passing a through ball to make it 0-3. After just less than 3 minutes, Higuain set up another through ball, which was a bit ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, but still Ronaldo able to shoot it pass the goal keeper. Wonderful 4th goal. Substitutions came Morata replacing Higuain, Albiol replacing Xavi Alonso then Callejon to Di Maria and good enough, Callejon added another one from an Ozil cross.
It is an important win for us, though we are still down 8 points. All is good and positive. There was yet indeed more records done by Cristiano Ronaldo,as he became the 2nd player in La Liga's history (after Isidro Lángara) to score +10 goals in the 1st 9 Liga matches in 3 consecutive seasons. He also tied with Butragueno and Pirri with 123 goals in Real Madrid's all time top liga scorer, and he did it with only in less than 3 seasons. Even Mourinho had his own record set having 31 away wins becoming the 3rd best team manager in the team's history.
Got a bit disappointed with this news though about news from Mallorca trainer Caparros, he said he was disappointed with Ronaldo jeering the fans and need humility. During the game saw tweets that fans were actually jeering and taunting Cristiano Ronaldo, something that I think was personally offensive, and Ronaldo react by putting his hand in his ear like saying (I can't hear you). Ronaldo was merely keeping himself still composed despite the taunts and the personal attack. He's not being arrogant. There's really going to be some people who will just see negative off him even if it's not there. But I know Ronaldo, whatever they say, it won't matter to him. What matters are the people who know him more.
The list for Balon D Or was announced and six players from Real Madrid was included namely Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xavi Alonso, Karim Benzema and Mezut Ozil. Real Madrid has the most number of nominees with six followed by Barcelona with five. Hope one of them gets it. They definitely deserves it.
Again, Gracias Real Madrid for a good show!
Hala Madrid!
