Brilliant Ronaldo keeps Real in the hunt
Print Edition
CRISTIANO Ronaldo scored two long-range goals to help Real Madrid rout Osasuna 4-0 on Saturday and stay in the Spanish league title chase while resting several first-choice players for its European clash at Bayern Munich.
With Gareth Bale recovering from the flu and Karim Benzema on the bench, all of Madrid’s attack went through Ronaldo on the left flank.
And the Ballon d’Or winner didn’t disappoint by unleashing two similar blasts after cutting inside to put the ball on his right boot and lift his league-leading tally to 30 goals through 35 rounds.
Madrid closed to within three points of leader Atletico Madrid, which was to visit Valencia late yesterday, and Barcelona, one point behind Madrid, hosts Villarreal.
Elsewhere, Getafe’s 1-0 win over Malaga condemned last-place Real Betis to relegation even before it fell 1-0 at home to Real Sociedad, while Rayo Vallecano scored three times in the second half for a 3-0 win at 10-man Granada.
In Italy, Napoli failed to mathematically secure third spot in Serie A as it was held to an entertaining 0-0 draw at Inter Milan on Saturday.
Earlier, Fiorentina crushed relegation-threatened Bologna 3-0 to keep alive its faint hopes of snatching the final Champions League berth from Napoli.
Fiorentina moved to eight points behind Napoli with three rounds remaining. The two meet in the Italian Cup final next Saturday.
Inter remained fifth, four points behind Fiorentina, which is all but sure of a Europa League spot after Juan Cuadrado’s brace.
