James back and Isco gets benched?!
Not even benched. Rested though rather than dropped...apparently.
Cristiano playing as an orthodox striker alongside Benzema today. Clear 4-4-2.
James back and Isco gets benched?!
Not on the bench either. Carvajal/Isco played in Spain's match with Holland. Maybe been given a couple of days off?
A couple of chances already today, Benzema and Bale not too far away.
James back and Isco gets benched?!
Isco is suspended... accumulation of yellows.
He must be off.
Must have missed that, cheers.
Ah ok, cheers.
Granada playing an impeccable high line so far, is bound to go wrong at some point though.
Oh dear Arbeloa 
How did you miss that, Arbeloa?!
Gerry Armstrong, what a clown
"When was the last time Arbeloa scored, one, two, three years ago? Haha."
- "He actually scored in the CL this season".

Arbeloa is going to cost us today, he has no idea what he's doing.
Cristiano has been really sloppy with his touch today, losing it too easily.
Bale 1-0, cheap goal.
Bale Bale Bale!
Wow, so poor by Diego Mainz... did he actually mis-clear that ball into Bale's path or..? Ridiculous.
Bale scores.
British media probably make out he's justified his fee now.

When Granada attack Madrid's box I can't see the ball
I wish we would stop passing the ball to Arbeloa and tell him to stick in defense.
2-0 Cristiano. Game over.
Ronaldo scores. Great cross by Kroos to start it all.
Great by Kroos on both goals
How do you leave Cristiano completely unmarked in that position? 2-0, nice pass from James, great finish. Granada's DF completely collapsing now.

Ronaldo with his second, hattrick incoming.
Oier gifting Cristiano a goal. Incredible.
How do you leave Cristiano completely unmarked in that position?
Granada has given him plenty of space. It´s his lack of form that has prevented him from being more dangerous.
Edit: As i write he scores after pretty sloppy marking and lots of space
Ronaldo is on fire. Hattrick already.There it is.
Oh dear Oier. 2 assists in that Cristiano hattrick.
Err hattrick. Granada goalkeeper
This goalkeeper had money on a Ronaldo hat-trick.
@SirAF likes this.
Don't know if Madrid are on fire today or Granada just not defending. Probably a mixture of both with Ronaldo's hattrick in 8 mins.
How many goals has he got this season now?
Think they gave up after Bale's goal and their defence/goalkeeper turned to shit. That combined with Madrid's confidence boost meant the floodgates opened.
It's nice to play in the mornings sometimes.James is doing a good game and Cristiano needed those goals
Dunno, better ask stat machine @Skorenzy.
Well, 3 of the 4 goals were clear Granada mistakes (defender clearing the ball into Bale's path for the 1st, goalkeeper punching a shot/cross into Cristiano's path for the 3rd and failing to save Cristiano's shot straight at him for the 4th). The 2-0 was a nice goal, although again Granada DF too easily beaten, leaving Cristiano unmarked about 7-8 yards from goal.
