Ronaldo equals Real’s El Clasico record, goes off injured
Real Madrid was forced into a half-time replacement of Cristiano Ronaldo who drew level with Di Stefano in Clasico goals for Los Blancos on Sunday.
The Portuguese international equalised in the 15th minute of play, after kick-starting a wonderful move involving Marcelo and Karim Benzema.
Levelling the scores, the goal came via Karim Benzema’s knockdown from a Toni Kroos cross and Ronaldo pounced on the ball to net just as Gerard Pique clattered into him in an attempt to clear the danger.
Lionel Messi is still a way in front of both Ronaldo and Di Stefano, the Argentine has found the net 26 times against Real Madrid.
While the Madrid forward was able to celebrate his strike, he sought medical assistance and was visibly uncomfortable walking on his ankle.
