The punch of Real Madrid made the difference against Athletic Bilbao

The Real Madrid endorsed him a resounding 5-1 at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, in match at the Santiago Bernabeu. It's funny how a scenario may make the game a team. While last week of Jose Mourinho were unable to pierce the goal of Sporting Gijon to beyond the 80 minutes, this time with the aim Athletic returned to work.

However, I must say that the result is too bulky for what was really the match. Madrid was the superior, but Joaquin Caparros knew stand up. Especially in the first part in which Iker Casillas was again emerged as the best of his team. Madrid behind was not as safe as before, looking repeatedly overtaken by the rush of a brave Athletic, led by Fernando Llorente who signed a fantastic performance.

But he returned to Madrid to show off his monstrous punch, despite its good performance, the set was derepente Bilbao with a 2-0 against. The first, after a good definition of Higuain fighting position with the defense. The second, following a perfect counterattack launched by the very 'Pipit' and completed by Cristiano Ronaldo, after the required attendance at the first touch of Özil.

Still, no Athletic collapsed and was able to cut the gap with a goal of Llorente, a decline that culminated in an offside position difficult to perceive, but existent. The hopes that could have the Athletic 2-1 at the break, were dashed when Sergio Ramos converted a penalty soon after the restart. That goal really hurt the visitors, and Madrid, with the convenience of the result, could make you like football, well armed back and find the sentence with the speed of their counter-attacks.

But the end would come 5-1 pieces. Both many signed by Cristiano Ronaldo: Another penalty and a lack of direct where the ball took one of their famous effects mislead Gorka. Portuguese is a fantastic fitness and has 15 goals in 12 league days. Record figures.

And Mourinho and his players met the objective of leading to the Camp Nou. Something that gives them some comfort, as opposed to other seasons. In case of defeat, FC Barcelona will close. However, Madrid will go for all the classic. The absolute gap between them and the rest of the league, makes six points to be disputed between Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou are key to becoming league.
