Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid Match Preview

“The first league match is always complicated and special. There are often surprises at the start of championships and things are even more difficult when you play away from home,” said Jose Mourinho at a press conference on Saturday.

“Zaragoza are a difficult team to face. […] They defend well and pull off fast counterattacks. I like their stadium because it has a great atmosphere.”

Summer transfer signing will partner in midfield with Xabi Alonso while Mesut Özil’s first XI position has been confirmed. Kaka, who hasn’t missed a single training session according to Mourinho, will start the game from the bench but he might feature as a substitute.

However, Real Madrid fans will have to wait a bit longer before witnessing Sahin’s Spanish Primera Division debut. The ex-Borussia Dortmund player—like Sami Khedira and Hamit Altintop—remains sidelined through injury.

Talking about Real Zaragoza, they finished 13th in La Liga last season. After suffering a few humiliating results, they surely know what it means to be overpowered by Florentino Perez’s new era of Galacticos. But Sunday night’s encounter will mark a new beginning in La Liga—not only for Madrid but for Zaragoza too.

Nigerian striker Ikechukwu Ike might give problems to Los Blancos’ defense. The hosts could also count on on-loan midfielder Pablo Barrera to produce an inspirational performance in midfield. The 24-year-old and 2011 Gold Cup winner has been named alongside Lafita and Ponzio for Zaragoza’s 2011/12 Spanish Primera Division opener.

The Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid fixture will kick off at 11:00am PST, 2:00pm EST, 6:00pm GMT and 8:00pm local time on Sunday, August 28.

Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid Match Report

Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a hat-trick, Marcelo and Xabi Alonso found the net too while Kaka got his name both on the scoring sheet and the assists list. Real Madrid’s 6-0 defeat of Real Zaragoza was simply a way for Los Blancos to declare their intention of dethroning reigning champions Barcelona at last.

Midway through the first half, Mesut Özil’s hard work was paid off by Cristiano Ronaldo’s opener. Defender Marcelo—who saw red in the Supercopa de España at the Camp Nou—doubled the Spanish giants’ lead 5 minutes later to put his side 2-0 up at the break.

Xabi Alonso made it 3-0 after 64 minutes only to end the contest for Real Zaragoza. From there, the match was a matter of how many goals Real Madrid could score.

Cristiano Ronaldo netted two more strikes as he hit 14 goals in his last 5 Spanish Primera Division games. In between, midfielder Kaka produced a stunning goal.

With a 6-0 margin and ahead of Barcelona’s home fixture against Villarreal, there’s a big chance for Real Madrid to hold on to the top spot of La Liga table after match-day 1.

Earlier in the day and far away in England, it rained goals as Manchester United and Manchester City roasted Arsenal 8-2 and Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 respectively. How great football has become to the neutral football fan!
