Ronaldo Overtakes Raul as Record Real Goal Scorer

“I’m surprised at the number of stories which get invented”, said Benitez, who insisted he worked with “a very good dressing room…the relation between the players is good, it is relaxed and healthy”, he said.

Barca were soon in front as an outrageous piece of skill from Neymar provoked Nacho into committing another penalty and this time Neymar slotted the ball to Tono’s left.

Barcelona, still without Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta because of injuries, had lost two of its last three league games and needed the victory to avoid losing ground to Real Madrid and Villarreal.

With Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Karim Benzema injured, Real Madrid put forth a convincing display as they prepare for a grueling mid-week Champions League fixture against PSG. The Portuguese went into the game tied on goals with Raul, who announced his retirement from football earlier this week.

However, after disappointing performances in draws against Malaga and Atletico Madrid before the worldwide break, the Bernabeu faithful quickly became restless after another slow start from their side. “I wanted to sign Bale who we had been following since 2006 but in the end Tottenham paid a lot of money for him”, he continued.

It was Ronaldo’s sixth league goal and 11th in all competitions this season.

As well as combining sublime skill with extraordinary athletic prowess, it is Cristiano Ronaldo’s strength of character that sets Real Madrid’s new all-time top scorer apart.

With less than five minutes gone they had their first sight at goal through young striker Roger Marti, but former Levante goalkeeper Keylor Navas was alert and beat the shot away.
