Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show against Villarreal on Sunday night with a spectacular hat-trick (23 goals in 18 matches) to steer Real Madrid to victory.

Kaka was credited with the fourth goal in what was his Bernabeu debut coming off a long-term injury

Villarreal played a flawless first half with magical touching and gentle treatment of the ball, but they failed to remember who they were up against. Cani put the visitors up on 6’, but Cristiano finished a combination by Ozil and Benzema to pull Real level three minutes later. The Yellow Submarine again took the lead on 17’ with a goal by Marco Ruben and stunned the Whites. CR7 again found the answer on the last play of the half by heading in a fee-kick cross by Xabi Alonso.

Khedira replaced Lass in the second half as Albiol moved into the right-back slot and Ramos took over in the center of the back line. Villarreal struggled without the ball at their feet and Benzema and Cristiano nearly put Real ahead on two occasions but were stymied by Diego Lopez. With 20 minutes on the clock, Kaka stepped in for Albiol in search of more answers in attack. Only nine minutes were needed before the Brazilian swung in a pass that Diego Lopez failed to trap. Following several deflections, Cristiano netted what would prove to be the winner with a left-footed strike. Villarreal claimed the Portuguese international was offside to no avail and the goal was considered valid.

There was still more action to be had and on 82’ Cristiano Ronaldo provided a perfect assist for Kaka, who notched his first goal of the season and Real Madrid’s fourth of the night. Football returns to the Bernabeu on Thursday for the first leg of the next Spanish Cup tie against Atletico Madrid.

Test to Benzema: Villarreal

Mourinho never mean anything, but always leaves something. Even on days like yesterday when he offered the mildest of their styles, he lamented without excess, praised Granero, resigned himself to the strengthening of Kaka and only one question left unanswered. There are doubts that offend.

The case of nine, still no news. Mourinho repeated today Benzema and surrounding attackers (assistants and friends): Cristiano, Özil and Di Maria. Although people does not know if he wants to supply resources or deplete excuses. Benzema added today the challenge to shine against a first-class team.

Karim Benzema

In any case, the bet is brave, especially against Villarreal, a team of strength and touch, ready to argue with the ball to Madrid. In that fight in the middle of the board will determine the outcome of the game. Also the head of Villarreal, too timid in its visits to the Bernabeu. Maybe Borja Valero will turn that. Trendy footballer (fashion, taste Del Bosque and Guardiola) and the Madrid youth product who left the club after playing only 47min with the first team.

If we look at the starting players, two coaches have players who missed. Higuain will see the game from Chicago and Pepe with the soleus on a cushion. Garrido, meanwhile, still cannot count on injured Nilmar, Senna and Marchena, so repeat the lineup that rallied from a 0-2 to Valencia on Thursday. A very similar pattern in the two teams. Ahead of the double pivot, also brings together four offensive players: Cani, Cazorla, Rossi and Ruben.

Kaka will take minutes in the second part again. Good news for Real Madrid, according to Mourinho said. Bad for Villarreal.

Mourinho: "It is normal that Barcelona thinks January can be bad for us"

Jose Mourinho appeared at a press conference to explain their feelings in the hours before Real Madrid-Villarreal on Sunday. Complicated match as those which look to whites in this January. One difficulty, the calendar, which is considered by Mou: "It is normal for the Barcelona look to our calendar and see that we have two derbies, Villarreal and Almeria which is growing much, and then, if we win in the quarterfinals knockout round, Villarreal or Sevilla in Spanish Cup. Barcelona thinks that January can be a bad month for us. It is normal”

Jose Mourinho

"But we have to be positive and think every game, be serious and find all the points", said the Portuguese coach who confirmed Lass and Xabi in the middle of the field and Benzema up front.

On the French midfielder, Mourinho was clear: "There are moments. When Ramos was not about punishment or injury and Arbeloa played and played well and I said he deserved to be the starter, is normal in managing. Khedira has started much time and then was injured. Lassana played and did well. I like to give the message that when you get does not mean that the other has to go. But it is a position where we're fine, with Gago, Xabi and Granero which I like more and more. I can do rotations because they are all good. There are players to do it. "

Mou downplayed the Pepe injury: "He could have been injured in his home, or here in training. Against Levante we prepare a team wich tomorrow starters could rest. We had planned to play for Garay with Pepe in the second half and Carvalho who played in Getafe, in the first. Injury is normal, things happen"

Real Madrid coach also said that Kaka would have more minutes against Villarreal: "He has to play. If we lose, tying or are in difficulties, has to play because it is the only striker we have. If all goes well and we winning, he will play to get his minutes and give rest to other players. Kaká will play. And this, for Real Madrid, for the fans going to the Bernabeu and for people who like soccer is a good new"

About the League, Mourinho said that the superiority of Madrid and Barca does not detract the tournament: "It's a league like the others. There are leagues where teams lose many points and develop differently. Barcelona has lost 5 points. We lost 7 points. In other leagues do not pass this, but here it is. At the end, as in all the leagues, wins the team with most points. It’s not important become a champion with 100, with 80 or 70 points. The last day you forget all what happened and concentrate only on the numbers. "

The manager tried to isolate himself from the controversy surrounding the signing of a '9 ':"What I do is work. I prepare training and matches the best I can. I come here soon, I go out late, I devote myself to what I have to spend. The life of a coach. Our happiness depends also on the results, but always with the peace of mind to do my best and give everything, that is the same as asking the players. I am a good professional"

Mou, who declined to answer a question about the Madrid receptions away from home, had a message of support to Leonardo: "What I like is that Inter wins, Inter's players are happy, as my President Moratti and Inter fans"

Pepe, a month out with a tear in the soleus

Yesterday defeat against Levante in the second leg of the knockout Cup (2-0), has been expensive to Real Madrid. The club's medical services have been certified Pepe's injury today who divided up the 90 minutes of the game yesterday with Carvalho.

Pepe (Levante vs Real Madrid)

The magnetic resonance performed to the player in the hospital “Sanitas La Moraleja”, confirms that the central suffers a muscle tear grade II in the soleus muscle of the left leg. The estimated time of injury, will be four weeks, pending clinical outcome.

The first game he will miss will be the important league match against Villarreal,(third place) on Sunday. Nor will play, regardless of other league matches, in the Spanish Cup quarterfinals against Atlético.

It is a sensible low as Pepe has usually been the headline in the center of defense alongside his compatriot Ricardo Carvalho, but Raul Albiol, when he has played minutes, and even Sergio Ramos, when Jose Mourinho has used in that area, and Ezequiel Garay, have worked satisfactorily.
