Ronaldo back on the Scoresheet

Cristiano Ronaldo was back scoring goals for Real - as they smashed poor Zaragoza SIX nil, in their last game before the Christmas break!

Higuain only needed two minutes to score his first strike, following a tremendous run and receiving a great assist from Marcelo.

Following a stellar assist from Marcelo, Van der Vaart scored his first strike of the evening. Ramos served him the ball to net his second goal, receiving the ball close to the goal-line and simply pushing it into the back of the net.

Higuain sealed the first half, lobbing the ball over Paredes and scoring a volley that kept the crowd on its feet.

Four minutes into the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his quality by controlling the ball inside the box and dribbling it until he found an angle to score the team's fifth.

Benzema came on with Raul, replacing Higuain and Marcelo, respectively (62'). The Frenchman (who turned 22 today) soon had a great shot that ricocheted on a post and then hit the net (70’).

The crowd was thrilled by the team's performance and gave an ovation to Van der Vaart when he was substituted by Granero.
