Real Madrid vs AC Milan Highlights: Champions League
Impressive Real Madrid took a giant step towards the knockout stages of the Champions League after defeating AC Milan comfortably thanks to two quick-fire in the first half.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored from a superb free-kick in the 13th minute to put Jose Mourinho’s men ahead and moments later Madrid doubled their lead when Mesut Ozil’s shot was deflected in. Milan could find no way back after as nine-times European champions Madrid, who could have won by a more handsome margin, made it three victories out of three in Group G to move onto to the top nine points.
That is five points more than Milan and Ajax, while French club Auxerre are stuck to the bottom of the table after losing all three of their games.

Malaga vs Real Madrid Highlights: Spanish Primera
Cristiano Ronaldo was in scintillating form as he struck twice and set up another two for Gonzalo Higuain as Real Madrid moved top of the Primera Division standings with a 4-1 victory at Malaga. Madrid had been criticised for their lack of goals at the start of Jose Mourinho’s reign, but have silenced their critics with 10 goals in their last two games after thumping Deportivo La Coruna 6-1 before the international break.
Higuain and Ronaldo both netted in the first half to put Madrid in control and the Portugal international, who also scored a brace against Depor, added a third from the penalty spot just after the break. Malaga reduced the lead when Kris Stadsgaard slotted in from a corner, but Madrid ensured there would be no upset as Higuain scored again in the 65th minute, the Argentinian’s seventh goal in four meetings against the Andalusian side.
The victory puts Madrid a point clear of Barcelona and Valencia, although they can be replaced by Villarreal if they beat Hercules on Monday night.

Real Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruña Highlights
Real Madrid ended their goalscoring drought by putting sorry Deportivo La Coruna to the sword in a 6-1 win at the Bernabeu. There has been a lot of talk regarding Madrid’s lack of goals under new coach Jose Mourinho, with just nine scored in their opening seven competitive games, but the floodgates were smashed open on Sunday night.
Cristiano Ronaldo netted first and last, with Mesut Ozil scoring his first for Real, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain and an own goal from Ze Castro completing the rout. Depor, whose only goals in their last six league games stretching way back to last season came from two Andres Guardado penalties against Getafe, pulled one back in the 78th minute through Juan Rodriguez but they were already 5-0 down at that point and knew that the match was out of their grasp.

AJ Auxerre vs Real Madrid Highlights: Champions League
Jose Mourinho had to thank substitute Angel Di Maria as he scored a crucial goal to earn Real Madrid a deserved Champions League win at Auxerre tonight.
The winger volleyed in Mesut Ozil’s cross nine minutes from time to settle what had looked another match where the Spanish giants had enjoyed most of the possession but failed to convert chances into goal against a well organised Auxerre.
Marcelo’s block from Ireneusz Jelen ensured there was no late twist in this match and Real could celebrate a second straight victory and clean sheet in Group G.
