Messi scored for an eighth straight Spanish league game by converting a penalty in Barcelonas 4-0 thrashing of crosstown rival Espanyol, while Ronaldo netted twice in a three-minute span to give 10-man Real Madrid a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Real Sociedad. Messi, who finished 2012 with a record 91 goals, is the favourite to win the Ballon dOr for an unprecedented fourth time. Ronaldo collected the award in 2008. Messis teammate, Iniesta, has never won footballs highest individual honour. "Andres would love to win it, just like Leo," said Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez, who scored twice. "I hope one of them wins it." Ronaldos double likely saved coach Jose Mourinho from considerably more scathing criticism after his decision to drop goalkeeper Iker Casillas almost backfired for a second straight game, with Madrid barely overcoming Xabi Prietos hat trick. Despite a fan and media backlash after last rounds loss, Mourinho again started rarely used Adan Garrido. But the keeper was sent off after giving away an early penalty, forcing the introduction of Casillas. The crowd at Santiago Bernabeu stadium voiced its displeasure with Mourinho by jeering the coachs name when it was announced before the game and cheering for their beloved Casillas. Mourinho said he wasnt bothered by the boos. "Perfect. They can whistle at me if they want and then support the team," Mourinho said. "I think the jeers are for dropping Casillas, and I think that they are because we are far from our objectives in the league. I accept them both." Madrids fans, however, couldnt have asked for a better start just two minutes in when Sociedads unbalanced defence left Karim Benzema unmarked to receive Khediras pass and score with ease. Madrids lead didnt last long and it again appeared to show that Mourinhos choice in goal was misguided. Adan was overwhelmed last round when he conceded three goals in the loss at Malaga, and he was shown to be out of his depth at home as well. He made a poor pass that Carlos Vela intercepted, and then charged out and fouled the Mexico forward in his box. The referee didnt hesitate to show him a direct red card, creating the dramatic situation of Casillas being called off the bench to defend the penaltty attempt.dddddddddddd. The crowd chanted "Iker! Iker!" as the Spanish international jogged on, refusing to take the captains armband from Ronaldo. But there were no heroics as Prieto coolly stroked in the spot kick to equalize in the ninth minute. "I told Adan before this match and the Malaga match that the jeers he might hear were for me, not for him," said Mourinho. "Theres been a lack of respect for Adan." Despite being short a man, Madrid pressed forward and deservedly went in front in the 35th through Sami Khediras crafty back-heeled flip to redirect a cross between the posts. Prieto beat Casillas to restore parity at 2-2 five minutes later, but Ronaldo gave Madrid control of the match in the 68th when Benzema stole the ball and played the Portugal winger in behind the defence to score. Ronaldo then earned a free kick on the left corner of the area and blasted the ball over goalkeeper Claudio Bravo in the 70th. Prieto appeared to give Sociedad late hope when he scored inside the far post in the 76th, but Sociedad never threatened again after Daniel Estrada was booked for a second time, leaving the visitors with 10 men for the final 10 minutes. Barcelona continued its record start with 17 wins and a draw to maintain its 16-point lead over third-place Madrid. Second-place Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, fell 11 points behind Barcelona after conceding an 87th-minute equalizer at Mallorca for a 1-1 draw. Raul Garcia put Atletico ahead in the 73rd, but Kevin Garcia levelled after a defensive lapse to split the points. Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova returned to the touchline for the first time since undergoing throat surgery to remove a second tumour in two years on Dec. 20. Barcelona dominated Espanyol from the start at Camp Nou stadium and made quick work of the relegation-threatened side after Xavi Hernandez scored in the 10th from a pass by Iniesta. Pedro then volleyed in a cross from Cesc Fabregas in the 15th before chipping in Sergio Busquets perfectly weighted pass in the 27th. Two minutes later, Messi scored from a spot kick after Fabregas had been fouled by goalkeeper Kiko Casillas in the area. The loss was Espanyols first in five games under new coach Javier Aguirre. Last season, Messi set a league record with 50 goals. He already has 27 before the seasons midway point. Atletico striker Radamel Falcao is next with 17th, followed by Ronaldos 16. Earlier, Celta Vigo downed Valladolid 3-1. ' ' '
