THAT IS THAT AS REAL MADRID CONFIRMS THEIR FAVOURITE STATUS WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN OVER MANCHESTER UNITED... LUKAKU WILL NEED TO MORE CLINICAL IF UNITED ARE TO CHALLENGE THE TOP SIDES, AND MOURINHO NEEDS TO DECIDE IF HE WANTS A BACK THREE OR A BACK FOUR
REAL MADRID ARE A SCARY, SCARY FOOTBALL TEAM.
THAT'S ALL FOR ME FOLKS, ANIRUDH MENON SIGNING OUT...
95' Rashford sends in another free kick that is once again headed away easily... Ronaldo then does supremely well to roll Valencia and win a freekick off the Ecuadorian. I wonder who'll take it.
94' Matic sends the ball into the box - and Ramos heads clear with absurd ease... Rashford then goes into the box as Vazquez does supremely well to draw a foul out of the frustrated United man
92' Madrid stream forward and Vazquez sends Darmian for a sandwich with a sublime swivel of his hips before picking out Asensio. The Spaniard's shot is going in before a superb save from De Gea keeps United in the game.
89' Marcelo bombs forward and tries to pick Ronaldo in the centre - but Valencia stands in his way. From the corner, Ramos sends the ball back to Iberia.
85' Sergio Ramos body-checks Paul Pogba with absolutely no intention but to stop the Frenchman in his tracks. From the freekick, Rashford tries to catch Navas out - and the Costa Rican almost carries the ball into the net!!!
84' Carvajal gets into the book for tugging on Rashford and the young man will take it from what can only be described as David Beckham territory... he sends it into Greece.
82' Real Madrid counter at supreme pace - thanks to a lovely reverse ball in the middle of the park by Asensio. Corner for Madrid and it's substitution time... Karim Benzema is taken off, and on in his stead comes CRISTIANO RONALDO!
81' OH WOW OH WOW. Darmian's long ball is controlled on his chest with typical excellence by Fellaini who then lays it off to Mkhitaryan. The Armenian slips in Rashford with a lovely ball that he tries to pass into the far corner - but Navas saves superbly
78' Fellaini is getting bandaged up like he's Tutankhamun!!! The man's got cojones, though, he'll play despite his nose having started to bleed like a leaky faucet
76' Lukaku chases a hopeful punt forward and does well to squeeze out a cross from which Rashford wins a throw-in... the ball is pinged in by Matic from which Fellaini smashes the ball into the stratosphere and Ramos's noggin. OUCH - both hard men look in considerable pain
71' Fellaini sends a lovely cross in that is cleared away by Ramos- United have a freekick that Rashford takes but Madrid clear that without much bother as well,
THAT IS THAT AS REAL MADRID CONFIRMS THEIR FAVOURITE STATUS WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN OVER MANCHESTER UNITED... LUKAKU WILL NEED TO MORE CLINICAL IF UNITED ARE TO CHALLENGE THE TOP SIDES, AND MOURINHO NEEDS TO DECIDE IF HE WANTS A BACK THREE OR A BACK FOUR
