ST. Markus Wheaton Jersey . LOUIS -- After yet another impressive display to finish its U.S. tour, Real Madrid headed for the airport confident its ready for the season. Another highlight goal from Cristiano Ronaldo led the way in a dominant preseason finale with a 3-0 victory over Inter Milan on Saturday. "Im very happy with this team, with these players," new coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "They have incredible ability, all the guys." Real Madrid visited three cities for the first time with previous stops in Miami and Phoenix. They escaped the finale injury-free, too. "Not only here, but in every stadium we found a very good atmosphere and local support was fantastic," Ancelotti said. "The soccer in America is improving quickly." Kakas second-effort header started the scoring in the 11th minute for Real Madrid, which was 6-0-1 in the preseason and allowed one or fewer goals in all but one of them. Play was interrupted for several minutes in the second half when several fans dashed onto the field to shake hands with or even hug Real Madrid players. The delay came right after a corner kick deflected into the net off defender Ricardo Alvarez in the 68th minute to make it 3-0. The attendance of 54,184 was the largest ever for a soccer game in St. Louis, though about 13,000 shy of capacity at the Edward Jones Dome. It topped standing-room attendance of more than 48,000 in May for Manchester Citys 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Chelsea at Busch Stadium. Both organizers, the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission, are hopeful the city will become a regular stop. "I would assure you that St. Louis is definitely on their radar screen," said Frank Viverito, president of the St. Louis Sports Commission. More fans dashed onto the field after the game ended, testing the depth of security staffing, and perhaps their desire to see some of the game, too. Neither team had issues with the temporary grass surface. The St. Louis Rams artificial turf surface was rolled up and removed earlier in the week and 400 truckloads of sod from nearby Columbia, Ill., were installed. "It was not the best but I think we didnt have a problem to play," Ancelotti said. Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri said Rodrigo Palaco struggled with footing at times but pointed out conditions were the same for both clubs and didnt "really want to use that as an excuse." Inter Milan tested Real Madrid backup goalie Diego Lopez several times in the second half, including two good chances from Alvarez and one rifled over the crossbar by Rodrigo Palacio, the teams leading scorer last season. Mazzarri judged it a worthy effort against Real Madrid, which also changed coaches in an effort to break Barcelonas hold on the Spanish League. He thought Inter Milan, which was 3-3-2 in the preseason, could have made it a one-goal game. "Real Madrid is definitely a great team," Mazzarri said through an interpreter. "They could be one of the first, second, or third teams in Europe or the world, and Im happy with the result. "Im not happy with the result, but Im happy with our teams performance overall." Inter Milan is coming off an injury-plagued season in which it failed to make the European tournament for the first time in 15 years "Obviously, we know theyre a very strong, competitive team," Mazzarri said through a translator. "Yet, we had six or seven goal-scoring opportunities." Ronaldo played the first half and made it 2-0 in the 38th minute when he took a pass from Casemiro in the area in stride and ripped a one-timer past diving goalie Samir Handanovic. It was his sixth goal of the preseason. "That was a fantastic goal," Ancelotti said. "It was not easy to shoot on one touch. And dont forget the pass, which was good." Three days earlier, Ronaldo scored twice in the title game victory over Chelsea in the Guinness International Championship Cup, including a free kick looped over defenders that then curled just under the crossbar.

"If we only consider this season," Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said, "there is just one club in Manchester -- and its ours.Almost 40 years to the day since playing their first ever match against San Jose Earthquakes, the Vancouver Whitecaps will face the Quakes once again on Saturday, as the club celebrates its 40th anniversary. But amidst the celebrations, its important the Whitecaps return to winning ways in Major League Soccer against an Earthquakes team that is below them in the Western Conference standings. The Form: Its now four matches without a victory for the Whitecaps who are yet to win against a Western Conference opponent this season, but they have tied their last two games against two of the top teams in Major League Soccer. In Utah last Saturday, the Whitecaps started terribly, going two goals down inside the first nine minutes against Real Salt Lake, but the second half was much improved, and a late comeback ensured the Whitecaps left Rio Tinto Stadium with a point. The Big Question: Will either of the Uruguayans be given the chance to start? Nicolas Mezquida and Sebastian Fernandez made an impact coming off the bench at Real Salt Lake a week ago, both scoring a goal, including a fantastic strike from Fernandez in the final minute of stoppage time to tie the match. Prior to the game, Carl Robinson said last week that the Uruguayan duo had been performing very well in training and wear very close to getting a start in the team. Mezquida has appeared in four matches this season, all as a substitute, while Fernandez started the season but then was left on the bench after a couple of less effective performances. With a Canadian Championship semifinal against Toronto FC coming up on Wednesday, its likely Mezquida and Fernandez will start at least one of the two games. "Everyone will get their chance," said Robinson after training on Thursday. "As a player, all you want is the chance to play and show what you can do, and most of the players will get that chance." The Lineup: Chilean midfielder Pedro Morales missed the trip to Real Salt. Lake to try and heal a back problem that has plagued him in the opening weeks of the season, but if he has fully recovered, he is likely to return to the Whitecaps lineup. Once again, there is a big decision for Carl Robinson in the centre of defence. Last week, Jay DeMerit staayed at home as Honduran international Johnny Leveron partnered Andy OBrien at the back. Michael Bennett Jersey. Robinson must decide whether to stick with that pairing and bring some consistency to the back line, or bring DeMerit back into the eleven. Nigel Reo-Coker played the first three matches of the season but hasnt played since due to injury, coachs decision and most recently illness. Its doubtful that Reo-Coker will be considered for the starting lineup but he could return on the bench. The Opposition: San Jose Earthquakes started the season with a five match winless run, but that came to an end last weekend when they won 1-0 at home to Chivas USA. The Quakes are yet to win away from home this season, losing 1-0 at Kansas City and tying 0-0 at Colorado. Yannick Djalo scored the only goal of the game against Chivas. The 27-year-old from Portugal is still adapting in his first few weeks in Major League Soccer as he gets fully fit, but he is a quality addition for the Quakes this season, joining on loan from Benfica. 2012 MLS MVP Chris Wondolowski has scored three goals in six matches so far this season as he looks to win a place in Jurgen Klinsmanns United States squad for this summers World Cup in Brazil. The 31-year-old has an excellent goal scoring record against the Whitecaps. On a day where there will be plenty of focus on the soccer history of Vancouver, it is fitting that there is a heavy Vancouver presence amongst the Earthquakes coaching staff. Head Coach Mark Watson played for Whitecaps in 1994 and 2005 while assistant coach Nick Dasovic previously played for the 86ers and was a player coach with Caps from 2002 to 2005. Both men are from Vancouver. The Odds: The Earthquakes are yet to win in Vancouver against the Whitecaps in Major League Soccer and the Caps must be favourites heading in. Carl Robinsons team are four points ahead of the Quakes in the standings but have played two games more. The Whitecaps continue to develop under Robinson, but they must start to put together 90 minute performances if they are to get back to winning ways. Where To Watch: Whitecaps against San Jose is live on TSN2 on Saturday. Were on air with a special Whitecaps 40th anniversary pre-match show at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt.
