Ronaldo received his marching orders in Real Madrid’s 3-1 Super Cup victory over Barcelona on Monday following two bookable offences. The 32-year-old subsequently received a one-game suspension for the initial red card and a further four games for appearing to shove referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea after being sent off.

In his post-match report, the referee described the incident by stating that the player “pushed me lightly as a sign of his disapproval”, with the Royal Spanish Football Federation then having little choice but to discipline the Portuguese superstar.

Real initially appealed against Ronaldo’s second yellow card on the basis of a dubious call from de Burgos Bengoetxea, who booked Ronaldo for diving after he seemed to go down honestly under considerable pressure from Samuel Umtiti. However, the RFEF appeals panel subsequently upheld their decision and the length of his suspension.

As is evident in subsequent social media postings, Ronaldo clearly felt aggrieved by the length of his suspension, stating: “It’s impossible to be unaffected by this situation; five games! It seems exaggerated and ridiculous; this is called persecution!”

Cristiano Ronaldo may not be played at the first half, but it didn’t stop Real Madrid from winning their second clasico match against long rival Barcelona last night. A fast goal from Karim Benzema in just 6th minute of the game, and a late goal from Sergio Ramos has cleared a perfect 3 points for the team.

But another drama once again became a closure for el clasico match, as Victor Valdez received his red card for his rough protest to the referee at the end of the game.

Real Madrid was on fire at Bernabeu, when they defeated Barcelona in Supercopa second leg last night. In the first half, the Whites literally squashed their rival, with 2 goals against nothing in just 20 minutes.  We can say that Mourinho has brought Real Madrid to another level.

Gonzalo Higuain scored the opening goal at minute 11th, and soon after that, Cristiano Ronaldo doubled the lead for Real Madrid.

Messi’s goal at the end of first half almost destroyed Mourinho’s plan, but luckily 10 men Barcelona weren’t enough to stop raging players who thinks of the field as their playground. The results, Barcelona player lost their tiki-taka style, and tried to use similar counter attack strategy as Real Madrid. But Barcelona is no master of the strategy, and they have failed despite a couple of nice attempts.

In the end, Real Madrid named as the winner of Supercopa after defeating Barcelona with 2-1.

Here are the pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo on the match :

Cristiano Ronaldo tastes his first trophy for the season after a 2-1 victory over Barcelona in Supercopa second leg match. Ronaldo scored one goal in the game, while the other goal came through Gonzalo Higuain. Meanwhile, Barcelona single goal was created thought Lionel Messi’s amazing free kick shot.

Unlike the first leg match, Real Madrid clearly showed their domination throughout the match. Both 2 goals  were created in the first half, at minute 11th by Higuain, and Cristiano Ronaldo 8 minutes later. And afterwards, Mourinho’s squad managed to give a hard time for Victor Valdes, as they didn’t stop on attacking.

Anyway, here are pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo on the match :

Jose Mourinho should be proud of the boys, since this is practically the first time in Cristiano Ronaldo’s era that Barcelona gets eaten alive for almost the whole 90 minutes by Real Madrid.  I’ve never seen Victor Valdes running around like crazy throughout the game,  and couldn’t catch his breath because he had to work extra.

For captain Iker Casillas, he did a fantastic job by making at least 3-4 important saves. However, he barely sweats in the first half.

Of course, praise goes to Gonzalo Higuain who did an amazing opening goal in minute 11th, that helped boosting the team’s spirit.  Followed by Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal, 8 minutes later. And after that, the whole field was like a play ground for Real Madrid, as their counter-attack scheme worked amazingly well. 2-0 in Real Madrid’s lead in just 20 minutes.

However, Messi almost ruined the glory after he scored for Barcelona at the end of first half. Although I have to admit, it was actually a brilliant free-kick goal.

Still, Barcelona find it hard to play with only 10 men after Adriano got a red in just minute 28th for his brutal foul on Ronaldo. They need more than just a help from the referee.

Enough said…. Let’s just skipped to the end of the match, since both Real Madrid and Barcelona didn’t score a goal in the second leg.

After a long 45 minutes plus 3 minutes of extra time, the match ended with 2-1, with Real Madrid’s name as the winner.

It was a good game, and Real Madrid have won it fair and square. Hala Madrid !!

Supercup IInd Leg – Aug 29, 2012 Real Madrid vs Barcelona at 20.30 GMT

The Supercopa El Clasico first leg match will be held at Camp Nou tonight. As the opening game of season 2012/13, the match will determine which is the best between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The question is, will Real Madrid survive the game, knowing that they didn’t start the league season in a fancy way after a 1-1 draw over Valencia last week ?

As for Barcelona, it’s out of the question. They have succeeded in tasting their first league victory of the season by trashing Real Sociedad with an amazing 5-1 score. Then again, history still take side on Real Madrid. Statistically, from 5 Supercopa match, Real Madrid have won 4 of them. But we all know, it takes more than just a statistic to win a game against Barcelona.

As we all can remember from last Supercopa, the 5-4 score aggregate result for Barca’s victory came from a highly tension match, if we won’t call it violent. Especially the second leg at Camp Nou, where the referee threw a lot of cards, 8 yellows and 2 reds, which showed their brutality on the pitch. Yet the most annoying thing of the game was Jose Mourinho’s unexceptable behaviour over Tito Vilanova, for poking his eye.

But enough with that, and let us put more focus on the main object here, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. These 2 players are no doubt are the biggest reason why El Clasico become more interesting.

Besides Real Madrid vs Barcelona , El Clasico can also be called the clash of Messi and Ronaldo. However, based on the last Spanish league performance, Messi is one step ahead Ronaldo. As we can see on the game, Cristiano Ronaldo performance was just so-so, and far from dangerous. He played below his own standards and failed to create threatening shots.

For the disappointing performance, Cristiano Ronaldo made a statement :

“Physically, we’re not in our best condition. This is normal. We will be better, we’ll try to,”said Ronaldo. “We have tried everything, but we still have to reach the highest level we can.”

And while Ronaldo is still working out to get his performance back, Messi already shown his best by scoring 2 goals in the 5-1 winning over Sociedad, and helped Barcelona to stole 2 points in the standings. Not to mention the pre-season friendly matches, where Messi made similar action by scoring more goals.

This condition is tough even for Ronaldo, which all his action on the pitch will be putting in comparison by the press.  And what makes it even harder, is that the first leg clasico will be held at Camp Nou, a place that is like a playground for Messi and his teammates. The only thing that Real Madrid can do is to give it all out, with 100% of confidence and optimism.

In the end, apart from the heat between the two team, we still expect to see a fairplay and entertaining football match. And may the best team win.

Cristiano Ronaldo failed to give his best at Real Madrid’s opening league match against Valencia. However, on an interview after the match Cristiano Ronaldo stated that the White performance was fine and ok.

“We played well and created opportunities. We played well in the first half, and better in the second, but it was not to be. We had chances to score one or two more goals and get the win. This is the firstmatch and it’s not the best result, but we must continue”.

The”number seven” player also mentioned Pepe’s injury during the clash with Iker Casillas on the game. That time, the two players had a collision while Iker tried to clear a shot. Pepe is now at the hospital, and stayed overnight for observation.

“It’s a shame about Pepe and we hope it’s not serious and he recovers soon”.

And now, rather then cried over the 1-1 draw, Cristiano Ronaldo put more focus on the next Supercopa match against Barcelona, that will be held next Thursday. No doubt, the match will put their rivalry into a new level.

“Now we are only thinking about the match against Barcelona. We have a Supercopa match that we have to win. We will give out all to win the game there and then  win the title”.
