Ronaldo returns to his favourite competition as search for form continues

The Portuguese has only mustered one league goal at the 12-game mark in La Liga but has had no such problem in Europe's premier club competition, scoring six goals in four games including braces against APOEL and Borussia Dortmund and a goal home and away against group leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

As the 2017/18 season threatens to turn into a nightmare for Ronaldo following his Super Cup sending off and his woes in front of goal in the league, the Champions League provides him with a safe place, where his form and ability are not questioned.

In fact, Ronadlo is the top scorer in the competition so far, with his goals helping the reigning champions to a 3-0 over APOEL at the Bernabeu, a 3-1 triumph in Dortmund and a 1-1 draw with Spurs on home soil, before bagging a consolation in the 3-1 thumping inn the reverse fixture.

Hero of Real's 'duodécima' last season, Ronaldo is once again showing his class on the European stage, surely it is only a matter of time before he finds his feet in La Liga as well?

A man with 616 career goals for club and country will only be kept at bay for so long.

Join us tomorrow for live coverage of APOEL V Real Madrid to see if Ronaldo will get back on the scoresheet once again.
