Real took the lead in the 16th minute of the game and they had a lot to thank Ronaldo for.
When Gareth Bale headed away a Valencia corner, Real surged forward on the counter, with Ronaldo leading the charge.
The Portuguese surged forward before exchanging passes with both Marcelo and Karim Benzema.
When he received the ball back off the latter, he burst into the box where Martin Montoya brought him down with a clumsy challenge to hand Real a penalty.
Ronaldo took responsibility, duly sending Neto the wrong way to give his side the lead.
The goal was the 100th penalty goal of Ronaldo's career.
