Meanwhile, key players Sergio Ramos, Mesut Özil and Xabi Alonso came off at some point in the game for Raul Albiol, Esteban Granero and Hamit Altintop. To sum up, Mourinho featured a rather weak side on Tuesday night. The presence of Adan in goal and youngster Callejon upfront also compensated the absence of veteran shot stopper Iker Casillas and prolific goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Still, Real Madrid made mincemeat of Zagreb’s Dinamo. But how did they achieve such an emphatic result on Tuesday night when all they managed in the first leg was a narrow 1-0 win? An important difference to observe is the atmosphere factor.

Los Blancos—and Cristiano Ronaldo in particular—suffered a hostile reception in Croatia. The situation was totally the opposite on Tuesday night. The Santiago Bernabeu provided comfort to the players on the pitch as the encouraging home supporters also played their role in the crowd to motivate the team’s spirit.

Besides the atmosphere factor, Real Madrid’s active progress—more notable since two months now—must be closely observed. Jose Mourinho’s men are probably not going through a “lucky and ephemeral” period. Statistics tell the following:
• Real Madrid are on a run of 12 consecutive wins in all competitions
• They’ve scored 46 goals and have only conceded 8 times in 1080 minutes of football
• Los Blancos are the only ones to possess maximum points from 5 matches in the Champions League
• Real Madrid, like no other team in La Liga, can boast of holding a perfect record on home soil
• Real Madrid is the highest scoring team both in La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League

This weekend, Real Madrid’s limits will once again be tested. The Castellans will welcome local rivals Atletico in their Santiago Bernabeu fortress in a mouthwatering Spanish Primera Division match. After clinching a controversial hard-fought victory away to Valencia, what show will they produce on Matchday 13?
