Real Madrid head into this week’s match against Granada with immense confidence, after two thumping wins against Espanyol and Shakhtar.
The Los Blancos have demolished their opposition in the Liga as well as the Champions League, scoring ten goals without reply.
After a short lived goal drought, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has been unplayable, scoring eight times in his last two games. The Portuguese forward is also heading into the Granada game, with an incredible record in his sights.
Ronaldo is two goals behind Raul’s tally of 323 goals for Real Madrid. The Real Madrid talisman will be aiming for another hattrick, which will make him the highest scorer in Real Madrid’s entire history, an incredible feat which will be achieved in a record number of games.
Granada will remember their crushing 9-1 defeat to Real Madrid last season and will be hoping to contain the unplayable Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored five times against them in a single game last season.
