Real Madrid have not played this well in a very long time. After losing 5-0 to Barcelona at the end of November last year, Real Madrid have not been in consistent form. They have played well in some games, but they have also dropped points on many other occasions. In the month of January, they surprisngly lost to Osasuna, a very low-ranking team. They also failed to beat Almeria and Deportivo, drawing 1-1 and 0-0 respectively.
On Wednesday, March 3rd, however, they surprised their wins with a mindblowing 7-0 win. Just before the half-hour mark, Karim Benzema kicked in the first goal and set Madrid on course to victory. Less than 10 minutes later, Marcelo passed the ball to Di Maria, who managed to tuck it away in the net. Marcelo himself later scored the third goal just before the referee blew the whistle for half-time. The highlight of the second half was a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo, who with this game finally ended his four-game scoring drought. Benzema also added a goal to the tally, but fortunately for Malaga, the game was soon over.

I find it shocking sometimes to see that Real Madrid can lose to the lower ranked teams because they spend so much money trying to gather talent to that one team. I'm glad that they lost a couple of games so that they can come back and be the better team that they used to be.
