Cristiano Ronaldo breaks another record in the Spanish La Liga
However, Barca’s win was overshadowed by a series of controversial calls from German referee Deniz Aytekin as he awarded the Catalans two penalties. Everyone is allowed their own opinion.
“I stopped the shot [from Sanabria] and when I tried to catch it, my posture was not the best”, he said afterwards.
Cristiano Ronaldo equalized before halftime and Sergio Ramos netted an 81st-minute victor for Real at the Santiago Bernabeu after Navas had pushed the ball into his own net while trying to regain control following a close-range shot.
Sergio Ramos never ceases to demonstrate his full worth for Real Madrid, serving as a set-piece specialist as well as talisman defender.
“It’s part of the game, everyone makes mistakes. What we’ve done up to this point hasn’t been bad, but how we perform from this stage until the end of the season will be extremely important”. I think that this time the meeting will be fruitful and both teams will score in it. Bet: both will score. Luckily, he did a great save in the last minute, helping the team to obtain the three points. “He made up for the mistake and made sure we got all three points”.
Elsewhere, Villarreal moved above Real Sociedad into fifth on goal difference with a 1-0 win at Celta Vigo, capitalising on Sociedad’s 2-0 home loss to Athletic Bilbao in a Basque derby. “Keylor saved us at the end and I’m happy he has recovered from their goal”, Ramos told reporters. At the end we are happy with the result.
“The opposition played in their own half, they defended well and caused us problems on the counter-attack”. We’re going to have the pressure in these games and this is not over yet.
Madrid went on to notch up their 19th victory of the season, going on to 62 points from 26 games, Barcelona having played one more game than Zidane’s men.
