Ronaldo scores twice to lead Madrid to 4-2 win over Bilbao

A win for Real Madrid on Saturday will take them to within 1 point off league leaders FC Barcelona who still have a game in hand over their title rivals.

Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez says he and all of his team-mates have benefited from Zinedine Zidane's appointment as Rafael Benitez's successor.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his second goal against Athletic Bilbao during their Spanish Liga match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid Saturday.

The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring in as early as the third minute, after recieving a pass from Karim Benzema on the left flank, cutting inside and firing home with his right foot.

When reminded the terrorist attacks helped eat away any projected surplus, Kasich said, "You have to manage everything". Kasich's off-the-cuff remarks and humor played well with the crowd as did his positive message and tone.

Zidane remains unbeaten after five matches at the helm of Los Blancos, with a 100 percent home record on the line when his side host the Basques this weekend, and admits he would settle for a 1-0 victory before kick-off.

Substitute Gorka Elustondo's glancing header in stoppage time was too late to spark late drama as Zidane's side put the pressure on Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, who both play on Sunday.

That only made this most recent calf injury all the more frustrating and the fact that he's relapsed is what's understandably making Zidane and Real's medical staff proceed with caution.

Bilbao were given hope when Varane was sent off in the 83rd minute following an aerial challenge with Aduriz, but Ronaldo scored his second in the 87th minute to secure all the points for the home team.

"For me, Cristiano is very important on the wing".

However, Athletic reacted well to going behind in a hugely entertaining first half with chances flowing at either end. "All games are different so we must keep playing to the level we have been and look to the game away at Roma". He's a very important player for us and we're not going to take any risks. "We are prepared for Wednesday".

"[Marcelo's] ruled out against Athletic", said Zidane (via football espana) He's in pain and it's best if we watch his recovery day by day.

"As coaches we never know what will happen, you have doubts between games, now we will play every three days so that is all that worries me".
