REAL ONE GAME FROM MATCHING MOU'S WINNING STREAK

willpower and concentration

Real Madrid keep marching on and, on a night when all the talk was about Leo Messi's historic feats, Carlo Ancelotti had a personal record of his own to celebrate. The fixture in Eibar was his 50th league game in charge of 'Los Blancos' and he has racked up 37 victories, his best-ever mark at this stage, beating the 36 he managed at Chelsea.

The Italian has forged a unit that is running as smoothly as clockwork, whoever's in the line-up. Indeed, Luka Modric's absence wasn't felt in the slightest in the Basque Country.

This Real side are nothing if not consistent and Ancelotti now looks poised to set a new longest winning streak at the club. He is currently on 14 wins in a row, one behind the record of 15 shared by Miguel Muñoz and José Mourinho. He has the chance to match this tally in Wednesday's trip to Basel and then move out ahead with another victory away in Málaga.

One of the lads
Leaving aside his tactical acumen, Ancelotti has won over the squad due to his human qualities. He is a natural leader and his open, approachable attitude and sense of humour make him an extremely popular boss.

The good vibes in the Real dressing room were illustrated by two episodes involving Cristiano Ronaldo during the Eibar match. First Carletto could be seen imitating the star's celebration when CR7 made it 2-0 and then the Portuguese ace winked at the coach after being substituted shortly after scoring his second goal.

CR7 ON HIS WAY TO BEING A 60-GOAL PICHICHI

sky is the limit

Ronaldo picked up a brace against Eibar and there isn't a rival in la Liga that can resist him.

29 out of 29 in Spain. Wearing the white shirt, he has racked up 50 victims out of the 51 rivals he has faced in total. Only Dinamo Zagreb has managed to keep all his efforts out of the back of their net.

Against Eibar, Cristiano scored his first just before half time, with a right-footed rocket of a shot that flew into the corner. Carvajal took the ball to the goal line and passed back to the Portuguese, who knew exactly what to do. That was his 19th goal from his 11th league game. To come would be his 20th, from a penalty, making this the best start to a season in the history of the Spanish league.

Ronaldo is running amok, tearing records down, threatening to become the league's top goalscorer of the season with, if he carries on at this rate, a total of 63. Mind-bending figures, Ronaldo is not of this world.

Just a couple of goals away from the 200-mark, the player picked up a brace and would have gone for the hat-trick if Ancelotti hadn't decided to rest him. After scoring his team's 4th he marched off to the dugout for a little r&r, the game now a done deal. Apart from his two goals, he had also served up an assist to James. A perfect performance that Ancelotti and his assistants congratulated him for. He left Ipurúa with 198 goals from 176 matches. Welcome to planet Cristiano.

REAL MADRID ARE FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS

well oiled machine

Real Madrid were poetry in motion with Modric and Kroos in midfield.The Croat's injury set the alarm bells ringing, but after the game against Eibar it is clear that the 'Los Blancos' goal machine is running like clockwork, and also has the advantage that you can change out some of the pieces and its precision does not falter.

There is no more room for the debates over the system or the best players to fit into the formation. Ancelotti reverted to a 4-3-3 after the classic 4-4-2 had been imposed by an absolute majority.

Real dominated possession with a new face in the position where Modric used to play. It was none other than Isco, who is determined to triumph with 'Los Blancos' no matter how many obstacles are placed in his path.

The Spaniard stepped into Khedira's shoes and worked just as hard, if not harder, managing to steal 12 balls. In addition, he showed his class at holding onto the ball and distributing it via the correct channels, supported by Toni Kroos, who by the looks of things is set to achieve much greater things than his predecessor in the position, Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid have hit cruise speed and it appears that no amount of turbulence is going to throw them off course.

Ancelotti's side have scored in every game and all of their victories have been by a margin of more than one goal.

An easy win against Eibar

another great win

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace while James and Karim Benzema also found the back of the net to give Real all three points against the newly-promoted side from the Basque Country.
Isco who was chosen to fill the Croatian’s traditional role in the center of the pitch alongside Toni Kroos
With midfielder Luka Modric sustaining an injury while on international duty, manager Carlo Ancelotti had to make a tweak to his normal starting XI, and it was Isco who was chosen to fill the Croatian's traditional role in the center of the pitch alongside Toni Kroos. Out on the flanks James manned the left while Gareth Bale was stationed on the right with the Colombian and Welshman tasked with helping Ronaldo and Benzema up front in attack. In defense it was a full-strength back four consisting of Dani Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo in front of goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Eibar looked very much up for the task in the first 20 minutes as the modest Basque club went toe-to-toe with their illustrious visitors. The best chance early on came from Bale whose long-range free kick rang off the crossbar after a touch from Eibar goalkeeper Xabi Irureta. The rebound fell to Ramos but the Andalusian defender failed to hit the target.
The Ballon d'Or favorite struck a spinning shot that rolled into the top right corner of the net to make it 2-0
Good fortune was on Real’s side in the 23rd minute and it helped them open the scoring with a James header. Carvajal led a charge into the Eibar area and fed Ronaldo on the right. The Portuguese passed to a clearly offside Benzema, but the ball simply hit off the Frenchman and back to Ronaldo. Right as the ball was about to roll over the end line, Ronaldo lifted a ball back across at the far post and James was there to nod it in.
On the half hour mark Eibar had the equalizer on the boot of Saúl after a brilliant cross in from Ander Capa, but Casillas timed his block to perfection to deny the Asturian striker. Eibar were left to rue that missed chance as Los Blancos doubled their lead a minute before the break. Carvajal did well to cross for Ronaldo and the Ballon d'Or favorite struck a spinning shot that rolled into the top right corner of the net to make it 2-0.
Real looked to salt away the match in the second half and Benzema nearly did so in the 54th minute, only for Irureta to come up with a big save to keep his side in it. But the former Lyon man would get another chance in the 70th minute and this time he did not
waste the opportunity in slamming in a shot after a nifty pullback by James which Eibar thought had gone out of play.
Ronaldo made it four by converting an 83rd minute penalty after the Portuguese's previous free kick had struck the arm of Eibar's Raúl Albentosa in the area. Ronaldo swept in the spot kick into the lower left corner of the net past Irureta to complete the scoring and sending Real on their way back to the Champions League on a winning note.
