The Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, still far from the goal with the selection Lusa and joined a new party of tension and frustration at not scoring after 16 months without seeing the national team door. The Portuguese winger, very focused and with eyes closed while the anthem sounded Luso before the game against Ivory Coast in Port Elizabeth, failed to score in every phase of bench giving thanks for this fantastic shot found its target not by a few centimeters.

The Portuguese captain was fully involved in the match and the tension was so high that, after receiving an entry Ivorian defender Demel, faced him, costing him a yellow.

The Toulouse player admitted it has very good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, praised the quality of Ribéry, discussed options Spain in the World Cup in South Africa next summer, the two points that separate him from Barca in the league and the knockout round of Champions League playing in the Bernabeu against Olympique Lyon.

Much was said about the penalty committed against Villarreal Cristiano Ronaldo and ultimately was responsible for launching and transform Xabi Alonso. The Portuguese did not celebrate the goal with his teammate and the controversy was served, despite the luso said he was not angry.

This Thursday you have asked about Xabi Alonso and former Liverpool player has been unequivocal: "Everyone can talk about what you want but my relationship with CR9 is fantastic. The other day I threw CR9 one Penati, former threw me, but just another day I do not throw, "he said.

As for the controversy and the versions given in that regard, Xabi preferred to stay out. "I do not get into this issue. I saw a version that was good and one not," he said.

He stressed the quality of Xabi Higuain Ribéry and was pleased with the win against France in the selection but is already thinking about the league. "We have to change the chip. We are confident after the result against France but we have to focus on Saturday's match against Sevilla.

Particularly in the game against the Gauls played Ribery, one of the objectives of Real Madrid in the transfer market last summer and still in the spotlight of the white club.

"It's very good player, I will not find me. It takes many years to a high level and was not surprised none of what I saw yesterday."

And a possible future companion, one who already shares a dressing room with him: Gonzalo Higuain, who is in an extraordinary manner and on Wednesday also marked with Argentina. "We're happy Higuaín because it is very important to maintain the tone of Madrid in the thinking of the World Cup selection. This is good news for him and for us too."

As for the League, where the difference between Barcelona and Madrid is just 2 points, Xabi avoided making comparisons.

He does not believe that Spain is the clear favorite Lastly, discussed options Spain for the World Cup. "Nor are clear favorites. The most important is the feeling that we as a team. The game against France was not as fluid but we showed great strength and great collective work. We must also know how to play well, otherwise, "he added.

Which do you prefer, play for or with Real Madrid? "I am fortunate to be in a great team and a great selection. I am fortunate to enjoy both," he said.

Christian took the Velodrome with a goal of genius and one ready. Olympique became obsessed with glue and paste. Casillas was the penalty and Lucho failed.

Marine was a game of which deserve a medal will come on in the piece of uniform that does not hide a fracture. They started them, but ended Casillas. The ideal son settled a maciste in the prime of life as one who dropped the atomic bomb, to prevent future casualties. Casillas is no longer a captain, is a statesman. The Olympique certainly missed the penalty that would have comforted the fearful Niang while retreating sobs, his head and arm hanging tiled.

That image of a soldier in retreat serves to point out that Madrid won everything. In war and love. By land, sea and air. First resisted physical combat and then when he saw light, made for playing football, because we practiced movements, memorized. If it was not a beautiful game is because it was impossible under the fire of mortars. The aim was rather a breezy survival, winning without much trouble.

Then there is Christian, his world, his irrepressible desire to win, the courage which accompanies it. His first goal after four minutes, was the result of far-kick and perfect. The hit was a pinch and the ball flew loaded with special effects, with the instructions of a missile. Rose and steady path, time, lost altitude, violent. Mandanda, who saw him up close, you can count on.

A gallop of Taiwo (a centaur) led to Lucho tie after a double rejection of Albiol. In those minutes and those who followed the beating continued Oympique: head banging, slapping, plantillazos; the full range of port intimidation.

Lass. No one is deterred in Madrid, and Lass did something else: answer. Fellow or insulted for being so very knowledgeable of cloth, small tank demolished, percussed, crashed as it does not let the enemy surrendered marked by exhaustion. Then clear the minefield, he began to play.

Velodrome in hell there was a moment of unease. On the contrary. Christian headed to stick a corner on that play and chained three more times: Higuain, Pepe and Sergio Ramos. At the end of the second part Cristiano again touch the goal with a header. Olympique meanwhile continued hitting.

The goal of Albiol, all attention at the exit of a corner kick, awarded for his excellent season. And it should be easy to look in the company of Pepe and his flowery exuberance.

When the party was decanted for the Madrid, Casillas decided to reduce delays. Misjudged the ball but to play well to intercept the front. Stuff happens, collateral damage. Lucho, stunned, chute against the crossbar.

Benzema came through a gray Higuain and was unable to improve the tone. Raul and Morientes, effusive and teasers for the heating, then went to watch a game that did not seem able to offer other emotions.

But Christian was still on the field. So when others jogged and ran so before anyone got up after colliding with central and porter. He scored without looking left over, proud and great. As is he.

The detail. The eighth round will be at the Bernabeu Madrid on 18 known rival for round of the Champions League. Group to be first, whites will play the return leg at the Bernabeu. It will be the second time they do so in the last six seasons (the first was against Rome in the 07-08, and the Madrid lost).

The hard Brandao was not his night from the beginning. In the 8th minute you hit a Albiol plantillazo to cost him the yellow.

The Lass dandy Managed the game at will and gave a great ball into the hole to Christian who came to mean 1-3.

What a day! Casillas Unsafe at exits, committed a penalty that could complicate Lucho would win if successful.

Christian Crack Huge: scored two goals (one proud of fault), hit the post and gave a goal Benzema, it failed.
