100!
100 points from 38 matches. (Only 14 points dropped.) This, in quite possibly the best internal football league in the world.
Not even Barcelona could brag about this one.
The Chosen One did it again!
Mourinho alluded to the importance of the match against Mallorca, at a press conference before the last matchday of the Spanish Primera Division, when he said something along the lines "What if the team has a disastrous performance tomorrow, and the owner fires me?"
That just goes to show how important it was for the Madridistas to beat Barcelona's record of 99 points, after losing the chance to win the Champions League.
Real had no problems against Mallorca, winning 4-1. Ronaldo scored the first one, soon after a disallowed Higuain goal. Higuain was to score the second, thus also settling the half-time score. Ozil netted two more goals in the second half, with Mallorca reducing the deficit temporarily to 1-3.
After so many successes in previous seasons, this one turned out to be a really bad season for Barcelona. (They couldn't even win at Betis Sevilla, on the last matchday, either.) But maybe they can salvage something in the Copa del Rey final against Bilbao, the next Thursday.

Real, Towards 100?
Real won again. They beat Granada, away, 2-1.
It was very hard for Real, though. They were down 0-1, from minute 5 to minute 81.
After Ronaldo was tackled in the penalty area, in the 79th minute, he also converted the penalty. (But, even though he has 45 goals for the season, he probably won't win the Pachichi, because Messi scored four more times in the game against Espanyol, won 4-0 by Barca, to make it 50 for the Argentinian, on the season.)
But the great ending, as far as the guests are concerned, and the main reason for this blog post, came when defender Cortes put the ball in his own net, in minute 93, following a desperate cross by the Madrid players. I guess he never expected the ball to reach his feet, or something, judging by how unprepared his footwork was when he touched the ball.
The hosts desperately needed a good result to try to ensure staying up in the Primera Division, yes.
Now, Real put them in danger of going down, if they lose to Rayo Vallecano, and Zaragoza wins, too, next week.
But, most importantly, Real also put themselves in the position of winning the title with a record number of points (100!) if they just beat Mallorca, at home, on the last matchday of the season.
