Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Real Madrid – Fighting Till The End
They’ve all vowed the same thing after losing to Barcelona in El Clasico on April 10th. Real Madrid’s club members and players will fight until the end to win their only trophy of the season which is La Liga title. The first leg of this weekend’s fixture against Zaragoza ended in a delight for the Spanish giants. Goals from Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo, Van der Vaart, and Karim Benzema saw Real Madrid hit their opponents for six. That win at the Santiago Bernabeu was quite a nice way for the Spanish giants to head into the winter break after having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Barca at the Camp Nou three Match-days before.
The public will expect Real Madrid to at least complete the double over Real Zaragoza, if not tease them with a flurry of goals again. However, Los Blancos will not allow themselves to be flattered by last time 6-0 result. Their focus is solely on beating their remaining five opponents no matter their level of illustriousness. Stressing the importance of clinching the maximum 15 points that are at stake, Brazilian international Marcelo declared:
"We are working and we have to be vigilant in the final part of the season. We won’t relax and we will keep working hard to win the league. We need to win all our games.”
Talking about this weekend’s clash against Real Zaragoza, the defender stated:
“We will face Zaragoza which is another difficult encounter because at this point, no mach is easy.”

Obviously, if Barcelona defeat rock bottomed Xerez in Saturday’s afternoon kick off, and if Real Zaragoza take at least a point away this weekend, then Real Madrid’s title hopes will suffer a setback once again. The question is, can Real Zaragoza afford such a prospect?
Yes, they stunned Valencia 3-0 late in March and have since not lost on home soil. They’ve scored six goals and conceded only one in their last three matches at the Estadio La Romareda. Besides, they’ve lost only once in their last five fixtures. Contrastingly, Zaragoza had a five matches winless streak before heavily going down 6-0 to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. These statistics and comparison perhaps make Zaragoza look like underdogs ready to bite the giants.
Only Saturday will reveal which team will get the better of the other and therefore win at the Estadio La Romareda. For Real Zaragoza, beating the Spanish giants will offer an enormous boost as they aim to remain in the safe zone until the end of the season. Real Zaragoza are just hanging on being only two points and two places above 18th ranked Tenerife. The anguish fate of being relegated is around the corner but the Blanquillos will prefer to distance themselves from it sooner rather than later.

Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid Match Report
Real Zaragoza 1 - Real Madrid 2Straight after the Barca game Madrid managed to get a win in a very tricky game in La Romareda against Zaragoza. Raul and Kaka who were both serious doubts for the game scored the goals that allow Madrid to stay one point behind Barca with four (not five) games to go.
Zaragoza started dominating the game but Madrid had the best chance with a Ronaldo shot in fornt front of goal which was saved by Roberto. After 15 minutes Pellegrini was forced to make a substitution when Van der Vaart injured himself. Raul was the man who came on who returned to the stadium where he made his debut 16 years ago. Another player who could not continue was Zaragoza’s Suazo who injured his shoulder and Colunga came on for the Chilean.
A few minutes after coming on Raul had the clearest chance of the first half, after a Guti pass he shot a diagonal strike but keeper Roberto was able to touch it enough to push it onto the post.
After five minutes of the second half Madrid went ahead after a Higuain shot was saved by Roberto who also saved the rebound by Ronaldo, but in the third attempt Ronaldo passed the ball to Raul who with an open goal scored the opener. The captain had just asked to be substituted after a knock and scored injured. He then came off for Benzema.
Things got worse for Zaragoza a minute later when Italian defender Contini was sent off after foolishly elbowing Higuain in the face when he was tackling him. However they managed to equalize in the 61st minute after Aguilar turned Xabi Alonso and put a fantastic through ball to Colunga who then dribbled past Casillas to score the 1-1.
Madrid then went for the victory and nearly went ahead after Ramos headed the ball on a corner onto the post. Then Pellegrini then decided to put Kaka on for Gago and after a few minutes on the pitch he had his first chance after an Arbeloa pass into the box, he then shot to the near post but Roberto saved.
However in his next chance he did not miss, after Ronaldo returned his pass into the space he beat Roberto with a great diagonal shot which means that Madrid are still in the fight to take La Liga home and Zaragoza are back into the relegation battle after a disastrous April.
