Real Madrid reclaimed top spot in the Liga BBVA standings Saturday night as they picked up a hard-earned win against a spirited Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos stormed into the lead through Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half-an-hour and Fernando Llorente clawed one back for the visitors before the break. Los Leones fought valiantly, but ultimately fell victims to a well-taken penalty by Sergio Ramos, a free-kick and spot-kick from Ronaldo in the second half as Jose Mourinho's men bagged the three points.
Ronaldo vs Messi, Real vs Barca, next week: El Clasico! Looking forward to that:-)
They should have let benzema take the penalty to boost his confidence
motivation wont be a problem after all it s the biggest football game in the world
Whydid Ramos take first pen for real m?
