Christiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema scored two goals each after Gonzalo Higuain had given them the lead. While Xabi Prieto scored Sociedad's only goal in the 42nd minute.

Real Madrid fumbles at home.

Real Madrid were held to a one all draw in their Spanish Primera Liga match that was played on Sunday night. Jose Mourinho's men were undone by a late free kick that was converted by Cazorla. They are now eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona that won their match against Sevilla on Saturday night. Madrid's 10 point lead has now been reduced to eight as a result of that draw. Karim Benzema's first half strike appeared to have been the match winner until Santiago Cazorla's injury time free kick goal ensured that Malaga left Madrid with a point. Real Madrid failed to score several scoring chances that came their way, as Caballero made a lot of stunning saves to deny the Galacticos' a second goal of the night.

CSKA bows to Mourinho's men in Madrid.

CSKA Moscow of Russia are out of this season's UEFA Champions League. The Russian side travelled to Spain after a 1-1 draw was played at the Luzhniki stadium in the first leg. CSKA were very organized at the back in the opening 25 minutes of the game, while Nigerian International, Ahmed Musa's long range effort was the notable goal attempt the visitors had in the first half. Sami Khedira delivered an inch perfect pass to Kaka who set up Gonzalo Higuain for the first goal after 26 minutes. Chepchugov fumbled when Ronaldo fired a long range shot in the 55th minute. The ball bounced in front of him before sailing into the net to make it 2-0 to Real Madrid. Karim Benzema was introduced into the game after 70 minutes and the Frenchman made an instant impact by putting the game beyond CSKA Moscow by poking home a rebound that came off goal keeper, Chepchugov. Seven minutes on, Zoran Tosic cut in from the left flank before unleashing a shot that beat Iker Casillas from 21 yards. The Spanish keeper denied Tomas Necid from creating a panic in the Madrid team.
C.Ronaldo

Karim Benzema passed the ball to Christiano Ronaldo to score his 6th Champions League goal of the season in the final minute of the game. Jose Mourinho's frustration turned into joy at the end of the match.  At one point, the Portuguese manager was annoyed with his team's defence. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two teams from the La liga that have made it to the last eight. The six other teams are from different countries.
