BARCELONA, Spain -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice Monday to help Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 3-0 to stay in touch with the top of the Spanish standings, and then dedicated his goals to the memory of Portuguese great Eusebio. Ronaldo said his league-leading 19th and 20th goals of the season "were for Eusebio," the former Benfica star who died on Sunday at the age of 71. "He was very close to me and helped me a lot," Ronaldo said of his countryman. "He is a mythic figure, and for me today is a very sad day." Before the match Ronaldo locked arms with his teammates on the centre circle and turned his gaze upward during a minute of silence for Eusebio at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Hours before in Lisbon, tens of thousands of people turned out to pay tribute to the 1965 Ballon dOr winner, who is considered among the best players of all time. "I appreciate the acts of homage made here at the stadium and throughout Spain," Ronaldo said. "Its important to feel the sympathy from Spain and the rest of the world." Ronaldo moved one goal ahead of Atletico Madrids Diego Costa as the Spanish leagues top scorer by finding the net in the 82nd minute and again in stoppage time from a cross by substitute Gareth Bale on his return from a three-week injury layoff. Celtas attack, led by midfielder Rafina Alcantara, created the clearest chances of the match until Benzema broke through from close range in the 67th with his ninth goal in league play this campaign. Madrids win after the leagues two-week winter break left it five points behind Barcelona and Atletico, who play each other in the next round in the Spanish capital. "In the first half we were a little slow and the team wasnt well balanced," said Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. "They had too many counterattacks. (But) its normal after the Christmas break. In the second half we played with more intensity." Also, Villarreal striker Ikechukwu Uche scored a hat trick and Jeremy Perbet added two more goals in a 5-2 win at Rayo Vallecano. Celta, coached by former Madrid and Barcelona player Luis Enrique, played the hosts to a standstill in the first half while enjoying the best scoring opportunities. Striker Charles had a great look six minutes in but failed to beat goalkeeper Diego Lopez one-on-one, and Rafina, younger brother of Bayern Munichs Thiago, had a shot that looked goal-bound when it deflected off a defender in the 37th. Bale had been warming up on the touchline since the half-hour mark, and coach Carlo Ancelotti sent him on in the 65th. Charles wasted Rafinas through ball moments later by sending his chip shot well wide, and soon the game swung in the hosts favour when Benzema fended off his marker and redirected substitute Jese Rodriguezs short pass into the net. "The truth is we had problems in the first half, but I think you could see the change after Bale and I went on," Jese said. With Celta still threatening to equalize, Ronaldo charged forward to meet Dani Carvajals cross and sweep it home. Ronaldo struck again in added time, banging in a cross from Bale to complete his brace a week before FIFA announces the Ballon dOr winner. Ronaldo is a finalist along with Barcelonas Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery of Bayern. "They have some of the best players in the world, and they punish you if you give them half a chance," Rafina said. The defeat pushed Celta into the relegation zone. Villarreal had taken a 5-0 lead before Nery Castillo managed to pull a pair of goals back to give Rayos fans at Vallecas Stadium some recompense for supporting their team through a dreadful first hour. Villarreal restored its hold on sixth place and the final Europa League spot, while Rayo was left in the drop zone after a fifth consecutive home defeat. Air Max 97 Baratas Mujer .

The Rev. Markel Hutchins said the meeting with CEO Steve Koonin was called off at the last minute. He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking the appointment be postponed. Hutchins said he needed to hear that request from Koonin, and because Koonin didnt personally cancel the meeting, the group of 12 civil rights leaders showed up as planned. When they entered Philips Arena and were told there would be no meeting, Hutchins and the other leaders said they were insulted. The entire civil rights community, locally and nationally, have been offended, the likes of which we have not seen in this community in decades, Hutchins said. The group asked for the meeting to discuss what Hutchins said was the Hawks disrespect for people of colour. The request followed racially charged comments by Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry. In a statement Wednesday, the Hawks asked for patience from the community and said they want to reschedule the meeting. Koonin postponed todays meeting last night, the Hawks statement said. This conversation is a priority for us. We are committed to having this meeting and will work with community leaders to reschedule as soon as possible. We ask our community to work with us, be patient with us, and help us heal. The Hawks did not say why the meeting was cancelled. Levenson said Sunday he will sell his majority share of the team. Koonin said Tuesday Ferry has been punished but wont be fired. Hutchins said when he arranged the meeting with Koonin on Monday night, he made it clear the group wanted Ferry to lose his job. Perhaps one of the reasons why they cancelled the meeting is we made it very clear we were going to demand in our conversations that Danny Ferry be fired or resign, Hutchins said. There is no way that a man who uses the kind of language and holds the kind of senttiments that he does should be the general manager of the basketball team in the home of Dr.dddddddddddd Martin Luther King Jr. and the cradle of the civil rights movement. Others also have called for Ferry to be fired. Former NBA great Magic Johnson said late Tuesday on his Twitter feed Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry should step down after making racist statements about NBA player Luol Deng. Deng and Ferry are former Duke players under Mike Krzyzewski, who is coaching the U.S. team at the World Cup. Krzyzewski said he couldnt comment on the controversy involving his former players because he hasnt followed the news. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, serving as an assistant on the U.S. team, defended Deng on Wednesday. Ive never been around a better person, Thibodeau said. Hes not only a great basketball player, hes an even better person. Ill stand by Luol any day. Hes good. Hes done a lot of great things in the community. Hes a great human being. Hes a very humble guy. He has a lot of integrity. I cant say enough good things about him. ... It was a privilege for me to be his coach. Thibodeau said he cant imagine why Ferry made the statements. Ferry made inflammatory comments about Deng in a conference call with the Hawks ownership group in June when the team pursued Deng as a free agent. Ferry described Deng as someone who has a little African in him. Deng, who was born in what is now South Sudan, now plays for the Miami Heat. He responded to Ferrys comment on Tuesday by saying, Im proud to say I actually have a lot of African in me, not just a little. A letter from co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. to Levenson recommended that Ferry resign or be fired. Gearon said Ferry made that description of Deng to the teams ownership group. Gearons June 12 letter to Levenson said Ferry went on to say, Not in a bad way, but hes like a guy who would have a nice store out front and sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back. Added Gearon: Ferry completed the racial slur by describing the player (and impliedly all persons of African descent) as a two-faced liar and cheat. ' ' '
