A rejuvenated Real Madrid prepares its assault on the Champions
League. Carlo Ancelotti's side put on perhaps its best display of the
season against Málaga.
1. Good play from start to finish
Speedy breaks out of defence, crosses from the flanks and a lot of shots.
2. Pressure high up the pitch to prevent Málaga from playing out
The team achieved this, except in the opening minutes, to prevent Málaga from playing on the counter-attack.
3. The combination of intensity and balance
The team attacked and defended as a unit.
4. Attack bolstered by offensive full-backs
Crosses from Carvajal caused problems, while Marcelo always troubled the Málaga defence.
5. A defender placed further forward guarantees ball-recovery
Ramos and Pepe played further forward and closed up spaces.
6. Diego López finally achieved a clean-sheet at home
He only made one save - in the 2nd minute from Gámez.
7. Real did not commit a foul until the 59th minute
The team did not need to foul in order to foil Málaga, with just four fouls awarded against the home side.
8. The substitutions paid off and Bale was given playing-time
Modric came on for Isco. Bale enjoyed a spell on the pitch. Jesé played for 10 minutes at a high level of performance.
9. Ronaldo missed a sitter, but ended up scoring
He still managed to get on the score-sheet, albeit from the penalty-spot.
10. The fans left their personal grudges at home
The atmosphere in the stadium was one of the most electric so far this season, with the supporters always getting behind their team.
