Real Madrid vs Levante Match Preview

Luis Garcia's Levante visit the Santiago Bernabeu, eager to at least repeat last September's success by rescuing one point from Madrid's visit to the Ciutat de Valencia. The hosts want to take advantage of Levante's unstable form to recover from Sunday's suffered victory over Sevilla.

Levante's coach Luis Garcia will have to do without Manolo Reina and Felipe Caicedo, greatly undermining the strengths of the team in all fronts. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo might not be able to perform, as he's been diagnosed with tonsillitis, experiencing high fever.

Jose Mouriho, on the other hand, recovers Spanish international Xabi Alonso, whose skills as a driver were greatly missed by Real Madrid last Sunday. Marcelo and Lassana Diarra will lead the advance from the wings, while Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil will be responsible for feeding Karim Benzema with enough scoring opportunities to secure the game.

Xavier Torres and Xisco Muñoz's performance will have a major impact in the development of the game. Levante is known by its defense, but they might go through a nightmare in Madrid without scoring a goal.

Real Madrid wants to qualify to Copa del Rey's quarter-finals and avoid another Alcorcornazo, are they ready to succeed?

Real Madrid vs Levante Match Report

Karim Benzema's and Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick gave Jose Mourinho a major victory at the Santiago Bernabeu against newly promoted Levante. French international Benzema and Mesut Ozil gave the hosts a two-goal lead in the first 9 minutes of the game.

But it was only the beginning of Levante's nightmare. Xabi Alonso and Esteban Granero built a strong offense, interacting with Angel Di Maria and Ozil constantly.

Cristiano Ronaldo could have missed the game with a high fever, but the Portuguese contributed greatly to Madrid's feast. He finishes this first half of the season with 26 goals in 25 games, a truly fearsome record. It was his third hat-trick with Real Madrid this season.

It was the best way to dispel the judging clouds cast upon their mediocre performance against Sevilla last weekend. At full capacity, Jose Mourinho's Merengues showed strong credentials to fight back for La Liga's title in the next semester.

Luis Garcia decided to give his top players a chance to rest, but he paid a high price for this choice. Only a miracle can save Levante from saying goodbye to the Copa del Rey, but perhaps this is what they need to focus their efforts towards Liga's fight.
