Cristiano http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 reaches 100 goal mark for Real Madrid – La Liga News
Real Madrid superstar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, scored a well taken brace against Olympique Lyon to reach the 100 goal mark for the Spanish side.
The Portuguese ace reached the milestone in his 105th appearance for the Capital club. Ronaldo pierced the French defences on either side of the half time whistle to lead Real to an emphatic away win.
Ronaldo opened the scoring with a brilliantly taken free kick on 24 minutes. The last time he scored from a set piece was on May 15 against Villarreal. It has taken him five months to break his scoring jinx.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 was fouled outside Lyon’s penalty area to give the visitors a free kick in dangerous territory. Ronaldo made the hosts pay for the mistake, as he tucked his shot in the left corner.
He could have added to his tally and reached the magical numbers before the half-time. However, his entertaining attacking displays were cut short by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408. The French international was in an impeccable form to keep Olympique in the match.
However, the shot-stopper was helpless in the second half as Real secured victory. Ronaldo was tripped inside the box which resulted in a penalty for the Spanish side.
The former Manchester United attacker does not miss from this range, as he scored his second goal of the night. Real won on the night and assured qualification to the knockout stages with two matches still to play. They now need one point from their next
couple of matches to go to the next round as group winners.
Ronaldo’s goal was his 16th in Europe and 100th overall for Real Madrid. The attacker has been prolific for the Spanish giants, scoring at will in all competitions. The father of one boy has achieved the tally in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 after playing
just over two seasons.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 captain has scored 76 in La Liga, 16 Champions League, 7 in Copa del Rey and 1 in the Spanish Super Cup for Real Madrid, to reach this mark. It was also Real Madrid’s 900th goal in European competitions.
