W21 - Numancia 0 - RMa 2 - Sixth Win In A Row!!!!

Record Man - Raul Gonzalez Blanco 307!!!


Los Merengues extended their sixth win in a row after won against Numancia in Los Parajitos, 2-0, thanks for Raul and Robben for opening their account as a goalscrer.The goals came after second half,just about 5 minutes after the kick-off.

Raul has made his mark, scores after great attacking play from in-form Dutchman winger, Arjen Robben, after setting a pass to Gonzalo Higuain,who looks really dangerous and decisive in front of opponent's goal territory. El Pipita then shot with left foot but Numancia goalkeeper, Juan Pablo make an untidy shot stopping and the ball met with Raul just need to tap in into the empty net.

307!!!!!! Now the El Capitan has equaled Di Stefano record as the club all-time top goalscorer which including formal tournaments ( La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and Copa Del Rey). Raul has already make his mark in UEFA Champions League as all-time top goalscorer with 64 goals in his name. He also the all-time top goalscorer for The Furia Roja, Spain, his own beloved country with 44 goals. In fifteen seasons with Los Merengues, he has made his name as Pichichi (Top League Scorer) for two seasons and has average 20.7 goals per season, what a player. He has made a great example for La Cantera, as he also The White Canteranos when he arrived to Real Madrid youth team when his age 15. At 17 he make his mark as the first team against Zaragoza, but has scored on his home debut against his former club Atletico Madrid with a tremendous left foot strike.

Alright, back to the game, then Robben made an individuals play as his trademark play cutting inside from right flank, dribbles a few of defenders and make a squeeze shot from his left foot past Juan Pablo. 2-0.

Real Madrid Player Rating credits to goal.com :

Casillas 6.5 - Hardly had anything to do all match but did make a good save to deny Goiria in the second-half.

Ramos 5 - Certainly not one of his better games at right-back as he got beaten on a few occasions and also committed some very silly and needless challenges. Also nearly gifted Numancia a goal with his poor header back to Casillas.

Pepe 7 - Yet again a very strong display at the back as he worked hard in the air and more importantly cut out the Numancia crosses by being in the right place.

Cannavaro 6.5 - His partnership with Pepe at the back is key for Real Madrid and tonight he was strong and closed down the Numancia forwards well.

Heinze 6 - Didn't too anything spectacular but he defended quite well and offered support when it was needed.

Lassana Diarra 6 - Has certainly impressed since joining Real Madrid but tonight he was not at his best, still didn't too much wrong in the middle of the park for most of the evening though.

Gago 4.5 - Committed a needless late tackle to get booked early on and can't really have any complaints about his second booking later on as it was a poor challenge. Not a game he will remember.

Sneijder 6 - Is not looking at his best in this team and perhaps that is because Ramos is insisting on playing him on the wing. Still didn't do a bad job but not as effective as he is as a central midfielder.

Robben 8 - Yet again the match winner for Real Madrid, as he started the move for the first goal by finding Higuaín and then scored a brilliant and decisive second. Ramos was right to take him off early because he is becoming so important for Real Madrid.

Raúl 6.5 - Difficult to rate the veteran striker because even though he equalled the record set by Alfredo di Stefano for most goals at the club with his tap-in, he did not do much else in the match, and was rarely involved for his side.

Higuaín 5.5 - Worked hard as always but he didnt create much and looked frustrated for much of the evening.

SUBS

Van Der Vaart 6 - Seemed intent on shooting on sight when he came on but didn't really test Juan Pablo at all.

Huntelaar 6 - Didn't get much time to change the game.

Javi García 6 - No time to add anything.
