Real Madrid thrashed Norwegian outfit FC Rosenborg 4-0 in the last warm up match before the start of their season this weekend. Karim Benzema started the goal scoring spree at the 12th minute from a Ronaldo pass. He added one more at 27th minute just a minute after Lass Diarra made the lead 2-0 with a spectacular strike from outside the box. Captain Raul increased the scoreline to 4-0 at the 55th minute with a header from a corner kick.
The Santiago Bernabeau trophy, as his match was marked, is the last pre season match that the Madrid outfit plays every year with some random opponents. This match was marked by the return of Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Mahmodou Diarra making a comeback to the team after being injured in November.
The performance of the new team had been more than satisfactory with the completely new team gelling well. The pre season matches, though against weak opponents, showed that the new Galacticos have the will to score and delight the fans. With Karim Benzema doing great in the front with captain Raul and great players like Ronaldo and Kaka to support from behind Real Madrid is looking like the team to beat this season and will surely pose a threat to the treble winners Barcelona.
Real will start their Liga campaign with a home match against Dportivo La Coruna on Saturday at 1900 local time (2230 IST). This will be opening match of the Liga this season.
