| Cristiano Ronaldo added another two goals to his growing Real
Madrid collection as the Spanish giants continued their barnstorming
start to the season by seeing off 10-man Marseille with a second-half
blitz at the Bernabeu.
Madrid struggled to make any headway in the opening period, but
three goals in six second-half minutes from big-money signings Ronaldo
(two) and Kaka ensured Manuel Pellegrini's men of a seventh successive
competitive victory this campaign.
However, Marseille will be angry about the 60th-minute refereeing
decision that left them down to 10 men and gave Kaka the chance
to double Madrid's lead from the penalty spot, with Souleymane Diawara
being penalised for a hard but seemingly fair sliding challenge
on Ronaldo.
That tackle earned Diawara his second yellow card and Kaka rolled
home the resulting spot-kick to leave Madrid in total control and
well on their way to a second successive Champions League triumph
following their 5-2 win over FC Zurich.
