Real Madrid thumped Osasuna 4-1 this evening with all of Madrid's goals coming from Ruud Van Nistelroy. The Dutch striker was very impressive in this highly charged and fast game and it was his class that made the difference in the fixture.
Yet again Beckham was on the bench for the Madrid and it would be little suprise to see the midfielder move on from Spain. Madrid now nove into third place behind Seville and Barcelona. The only negative aspect for Madrid was the silly mistakes that are a thorn in every game they seem to play. This was illustrated as Osasuna scored their only goal from a free header.
