Cristiano Ronaldo made it 400 career goals in just 652 games, as Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 3-0 to close the gap on leaders Barcelona.
Ronaldo
was out of sorts for most of Real’s first game of the year but still
arrived twice in the six-yard box to finish off crosses from full back
Dani Carvajal and then Gareth Bale who came on as a second half
substitute.
For
a player whose finishing was seen as his weakness as a young winger at
Sporting the 28-year-old’s achievement is an incredible one. His double
took him to 29 goals so far this season in 22 games and it gets him off
the mark for 2014 after closing 2013 on 69 goals for the calendar year.
