🔥 From the first touch to the roar of the fans, this is where the CR7 era at Madrid truly began.
00:00He has been the star attraction in Dublin over the last few days and if he is
00:04man-marked tonight it will be nothing like the man marking on him by the
00:09security men in Ireland over the last few days to keep the hordes at bay who
00:13just wanted to have their photographs taken, who just wanted to press the flesh
00:17with this man. He really is a star attraction wherever he goes and it's
00:22great that he's here in Ireland David Proven. It certainly is Rob, I just hope we see a nice edge to the game tonight.
00:27Herr Frank saying that will certainly be the case and I hope the Shamrock Rovers
00:31players don't stand off tonight and admire them.
00:33And while Real Madrid are preparing for the start of their new campaign, Shamrock Rovers are already well into theirs, 20 games into theirs in fact
00:43and in a tussle with Bohemians.
00:47Tonight they have a friendly match to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Real Madrid team. The audience of Talat aren't disappointed as the star attraction Cristiano Ronaldo
00:57is in from the start. He's wearing, so here he is wearing number nine, Cristiano Ronaldo, the European footballer of the year, the world footballer of the year and what a night for the man who's facing him.
01:12A 20 year old who's a long way off for some of the players.
01:15More so then, number 21. Clearance by Sibes, didn't carry too far and here's Ronaldo first springing into action.
01:26I think it's important to get through the first 10 minutes though. I don't think they want to lose an early one.
01:31They're bound to be nervous here tonight, there's bound to be some apprehension and a good tackle tucking in
01:35to provide a little bit of cover for the centre-backs but here come Real again.
01:41That's Higuaín having a go at this side, not from his. This is the Argentine Fernando Gago,
01:46going right through the middle to Raúl. Higuaín looking to lay back to Ronaldo, maybe just a team.
01:53Promising build-up. Marcelo looking for a way through, introducing the first action from Barry Murphy.
02:00That's a very decent save, Robyn, you and I will...
02:02Josie Dudek in goal for Real Madrid tonight. Ike Casillas among the Spanish internationals
02:07who's been given extra time off following the Confederations Cup. Sergio Ramos, another number seven, Raúl.
02:15To Cristiano Ronaldo.
02:19Has to get the better of Birmingham. Marcelo. It's Higuaín.
02:25What a deflection. That was Maguire who got out very quickly to make the block. Did really well there.
02:32Came from a nice little one-two between Guti and Higuaín.
02:36Ball in sight. Raúl making a run to his left. It's Ronaldo here.
02:41Looking for Guti again. Struck by Higuaín. That one did get away from the goal.
02:45But he retrieved it before Raúl can get there. I gotta say, Barry Murphy should have done better,
02:50given the save he made five minutes ago.
02:51They're not going to get too many chances in open play, Sean Ward with us.
02:57Get some build-up.
02:59On a milky new road, but not able to find the finish, but a most promising move.
03:04From Ireland's most decorated club. Here's Ronaldo.
03:10I never really got it, did he? Got it out of his feet very quickly.
03:13Body shape was never quite right, but we know he's more than capable from this type of distance.
03:19I was told before the game, Rob, that Real Madrid insisted.
03:23Now Torres. Ronaldo.
03:27Now Gago.
03:31Here's Ronaldo.
03:35Gago. Gago once more.
03:37Ronaldo.
03:44Here's Galan Dresli.
03:47Opened by Ronaldo.
03:50Typically strong.
03:56This is Ronaldo.
04:03Now Tiara.
04:03Ronaldo.
04:11Gago.
04:13Now Guti.
04:22Ronaldo.
04:22Now Ronaldo getting the treatment then, and Chavez is going to get a booking for that.
04:35I don't think he's got any choice there, Alan Kelly, the referee.
04:41Raul.
04:43Ronaldo's headed back to Higuain.
04:44Here's Ronaldo.
04:54Turn into traffic.
04:57This time he does find his man, Ronaldo, who in turn seeks out the skipper.
05:01End of situation.
05:02Ronaldo.
05:13Ronaldo.
05:13Ronaldo.
05:17I didn't get it, did he?
05:18He's only got the dead belt, always moving weight.
05:21He's supportive.
05:22He's on the reach of Robinson.
05:24Terrific early ball in.
05:25I don't think Robinson was expecting it to come in.
05:27It was caught on his heels there.
05:29Here's Ronaldo.
05:31Trying to shake off Amon.
05:37Guti lining up to have a go.
05:40I think Sean O'Connor could be out quicker to the ball here to get a lot of time.
05:43If Chavez Alonso, another one who has been linked with a subtle move to Real Madrid at a price.
05:52Ronaldo.
05:54Here's Ronaldo.
06:01Raul.
06:07Torres.
06:08This is Ronaldo.
06:18Here's Tiara.
06:21Raul with the header.
06:21Here's Ronaldo.
06:22Here's Ronaldo.
06:22Here's Ronaldo.
06:23And Pat Flynn did well just to lean in there.
06:25He was wrong side there, the full-back, as he tried to tuck in.
06:29But he just leans in here to make sure Raul's not getting all his own.
06:32The lane for Ronaldo, Raul waiting in the middle.
06:39That's a good kick, Higuain did.
06:41Ronaldo no favours at all.
06:42Oh, the weight of the ball really, the weight of the ball really passed a little bit to him.
06:48Raul.
06:48And here's Ronaldo for Higuain, who's effort was blocked.
06:57Higuain finding Ronaldo.
06:59Andresley got back.
07:06Birmingham came in to help out too.
07:09Andresley got the ball.
07:10Caught by Flynn was Guti.
07:11Free kick.
07:14Plenty of time to assess it.
07:18Familiar pose.
07:21Ronaldo.
07:23Familiar run well by Birmingham.
07:25And here's Galan Dresley.
07:29Pulled back by Diara.
07:32The height from the back with Maguire.
07:35That's too far in.
07:35Now Marcelo.
07:38Ronaldo having switched sides.
07:48Free kick against Rice, whose frustration all to evidence.
07:52I just wonder how much the referee Alan Kelly.
07:59Guti's kick.
08:03I couldn't direct it back across.
08:04Oh, Maguire does well.
08:05And again, he said.
08:07Rice.
08:10By Torres.
08:10Good find Ronaldo.
08:13Left behind by Gago for Guti.
08:16First time looking for Ronaldo.
08:19Guti.
08:22Cristiano Ronaldo.
08:28Now Raul.
08:30Good defending.
08:31Again it was Maguire.
08:32Well, it's been a superb night down at Maguire.
08:38Oh, wanted a touch here.
08:40A lot of pace in the ball in.
08:41Could have hit it first time.
08:44Diara.
08:45Now the fourth rig way.
08:48Now the goalkeeping.
08:51A bit of relief there for Dara Maguire.
08:53Dresley.
08:54Here's Guti.
08:55Ronaldo.
09:05Here's Ronaldo.
09:06Well, they've held out until over two minutes to half-time.
09:15Why?
09:17Shamrock Rovers players are engaged in.
09:19They have to take place at half-time if they do replace the entire side.
09:23And here's Ronaldo.
09:28And here's Ronaldo.
09:31Birmingham is the player he's holding off.
09:34Torres.
09:35Torres.
09:38Here's Cristiano Ronaldo.
09:39Cristiano Ronaldo.
09:39Well, they have managed to contain the £80 million man.
09:44Cristiano Ronaldo going off at half-time.
09:47Will he reappear?
09:49Shamrock Rovers have managed to keep him at bay.
09:51And that's been down to some resolute defending,
