Levante vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Angela Asante, Sep 17th 2011
Can anyone see Real Madrid winning against Levante at the Ciudad de Valencia to record their third consecutive victory in La Liga?
Cristiano Ronaldo's doubtful condition could affect the match against Levante.
Cristiano Ronaldo's doubtful condition could affect the match against Levante.
Barcelona’s emphatic victory over Osasuna shows that Real Madrid can expect another tiring hunt throughout the season for La Liga title. The ‘Special One’ is already up for harder times to come as he explained on Saturday:

“It's not possible to take all points in easy league championships, and even less in hard championships like ours. We will drop points. It is one thing to drop points because your opponent played very well and another because you played badly. You have to feel disappointed in the latter scenario.”

Predicting a shocking defeat for Los Blancos on Sunday may come across too daring. However, the possibilities of witnessing an all-square match don’t seem totally closed and Jose Mourinho knows it.

“If we keep playing this way we'll have chances to win tomorrow against a difficult opponent,” said the Real Madrid coach at a press conference before adding the following:

“We failed to win at their stadium last year. It will be difficult because they defend fiercely and well. Levante are a good side that's competitive and aggressive. We will have to play very well in order to win.”

Kaka has returned to the squad after missing Real Madrid’s midweek Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb. Cristiano Ronaldo has also been included in Mourinho’s 20-man squad after apparently recovering from the bloody ankle injury he sustained in Croatia.

Real Madrid go into Sunday night’s encounter with a 30-8 record in away matches. Remember that the Spanish giants have won 8 of their last 9 fixtures out of the Santiago Bernabeu.

Levante vs Real Madrid Match Report

Angela Asante, Sep 18th 2011
On a miserable night for Madridistas, Real Madrid got shocked at the Ciudade de Valencia by home team Levante. A solitary goal by Arouna Koné proved to be the difference.
Starter Kaka produced a great performance but it wasn't enough to inspire Madrid to victory.
Starter Kaka produced a great performance but it wasn't enough to inspire Madrid to victory.
Kaka was offered a starting XI place whereas Cristiano Ronaldo started from the bench. In reply to the controversial “I’m handsome, rich and talented” comment he made recently, the Portuguese was greeted by the home crowd with a banner reading, “We're ugly, poor and not very good!” Unfortunately for Cristiano Ronaldo, Levante supporters indeed got the last laugh.

In the early stages of the game, Real Madrid looked aggressive in attack. They even thought they had scored after 9 minutes before the referee saved Levante by ruling the goal out for offside. Benzema came very close to breaking the deadlock midway through the first half as Kaka and Coentrao looked lively.

But then the tension in the match heated. Valdo Iborra and Di Maria received yellow cards before Sami Khedira got sent off for two bookable offenses.

What a massive blow for Los Blancos who also had to play with ten men on match-day 2 of La Liga! Cristiano Ronaldo’s second period inclusion increased Real Madrid’s options but the way back to win the game was lost.

Arouna Koné’s 68th minute goal stunned Los Blancos as more yellow cards tarnished the flow of the encounter. Real Madrid now lack behind Barcelona in La Liga standings and they haven’t scored away to Levante in La Liga in 180 minutes of football now.

Can we already talk about a Ciudade de Valencia stadium jinx and an early defeat of the Spanish Primera Division title for the Spanish giants?
