Shamrock Rovers vs Real Madrid Highlights

Cristiano Ronaldo hardly made an impact against Shamrock Rovers in his first appearance for Real Madrid.

The £80million man came in for special attention from the Irish side’s defenders, not all of it fitting the ‘friendly’ title of this match, and could not conjure any of his trademark magic before being withdrawn at half-time with the score tied at 0-0.

He had two chances to produce with a free-kick, but sent the first one well wide and the second into the wall.

Indeed, the best scoring chance in the first half fell to the hosts as Sean O’Connor cut in from the right-hand side before sending a low strike just wide.

Madrid looked more dangerous after the break, with Rafael van der Vaart going close twice, the second with a spectacular overhead kick, and another high-profile import, Karim Benzema striking the post in the 56th minute.

Eventually, it was Benzema who won it, latching on to a long ball to score the only goal of the match three minutes from time.
