1st Short Highlight
oing forward have some excelent players who can hurt any team, and although they are well behind Barcelona in the La liga standing they are easily the 2nd best team in Europe behind barcelona. They have former Manchester United player in their ranks who sice joining Real Madrid have been prolific in front of goal scoring 178 goals in 179 matches which includes number of hattricks. United will have a tough task to handle as he is coming into this match on the back of a hattrick scored against Sevilla.

There will be some interesting battle throughout the pitch, and Real Madrid will start the match with 4-2-3-1 most likely with Benzema playing on top, Ronaldo, Ozil and Di Maril just behind him while Khadira and Xabi Alonso in the defensive midfield position. That makes an exciting prospect for the neutral fans who will have a good game, and with Kaka, Modric and callejon they have some solid players at the bench as well.

Manchester United on the other hand will start with a 4-2-2-2 formation, with Van Persie and Rooney upfront and Rooney dropping back from time to time, while Carrick and Cleverly will sit in the midfield and we will have Valencia and Kagwa in the supporting Robin Van Persie and Rooney in attack, and with Anderson, Welback and Hernandez coming into this match from the bench thats a solid team from away side.

For United worrying thing is the young right back Rafael Da Silva, who is great going forward but with Ronaldo coming at him in all game he will have to sit tight at the back and change his gameplay which is a little offensive.
