This was the sixth game that Real Madrid disputed this pre-season, and that's also the sixth win obtained. So far, Real Madrid's path has been 100% victorious, after having played games in the United States, Europe and now China. There's only one game left in this pre-season, before facing Barcelona in the Spanish Supercup and this team seems to be very well prepared for such an early stage of the season. In his second year managing this team, José Mourinho presents a more established game system and this season is definately promising a lot, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Ozil, a lot more comfortable with the Portuguese coach tactical demands.

We all know Chinese fans are very loyal to Real Madrid and to prove that, more than 50.000 people showed up to watch Guangzhou Evergrande playing against the Merengues. José Mourinho was aware of the importance of this game in terms of marketing, so he presented a very strong line-up, with Cristiano Ronaldo decided to put on a good show. Just 6 minutes after the game started, the first goal appeared by Khedira and it was his first strike since he signed for Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his team mates had a great performance and goals happened naturally. Around the 30th minute, Ozil scored the 2nd goal after a good combination with Sami Khedira. Benzema also scored in the first half, around the 38th minute, making it 0-3 before the halftime. The second half started and only 3 minutes after, Benzema once again, put the ball on the back of the net. However, the biggest moment of the game happened around the 54th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo got assisted by Callejón and scored a tremendous goal with a backheel touch. A couple minutes later, José Mourinho decided to rotate almost the entire team and the game lost a bit of rhythm. Jese and Di Maria still had time to make a goal each, as well as Yang from Guangzhou Evergrande, who managed to put the final score to 1-7. Next match is this Saturday, against Tianjin Teda (11:45 GMT+1 (Madrid)), who are expected to be a stronger team than Guangzhou, and therefore present a bigger threat to Real Madrid and CR7.
