Real Madrid's Raul Gonzalez (L) celebrates a goal against Zenit Saint Petersburg with his team mate Marcelo during their Champions League soccer match in Madrid December 10, 2008.

Knowing he will be missing left back Marcelo among others for Saturday's trip to play Barcelona in the CampNou stadium, Ramos made changes at half time, moving Michel Salgado to left back and asking central defender Christoph Metzelder to play on the right.

With the Russians not showing much inclination to break sweat on a cold Madrid night, the home team scored two more goals. ArjenRobben was allowed time and space to fire home with his left foot five minutes after the break to make it 2-0.

Seven minutes later Raul added his second of the night to roundoff what has to be a satisfactory debut for Ramos.

However, given the category of the opposition, it is safe to assure the new Madrid coach and his side will face a much stiffer test at the weekend.
