Cristiano Ronaldo has opened his La Liga goal account. The current world footballer of the year scored in the 85th minute of Real Madrid’s La Liga fixture away at Getafe.
Ronaldo, who has gotten off to a flying start in the UEFA Champions League with four goals already in the bag, has endured a La Liga goal drought after coming back from a five-match ban.
Madrid’s disappointing start to the season looked set to continue after Jorge Molina cancelled out Karim Benzema’s opener for the reigning champions, but Ronaldo struck in the 85th minute to secure the three points.
