I was delighted to see the big part Ruud Van Nistelrooy played in Real Madrids 4-1 thrashing of Levante on Sunday night.
Not content with just scoring his first goal in La Liga, he had to score a hat trick. It looked like it would never come when he missed a number of chances and even a penatly, but he got there in the end with a finish any striker would be proud of.
I really hope Ruud does well with Real. I’m sure he will be a huge success. His style of play seems to suit Real very well and it will be interesting to see how he fits in once Ronaldo is fit again.
On this display, I think he suits Real better than Ronaldo. In saying that, I’d never right off Ronaldo!
