Ronaldo on way to La Liga record
While Barcelona forward Lionel Messi was busy breaking the all-time La Liga scoring record on Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo took a step closer to smashing the best for a single season of 50 goals also held by his Argentine rival.
Ronaldo struck twice in a 4-0 win for leaders Real Madrid at Eibar and the Portugal forward has now scored an incredible 20 goals in 11 appearances in Spain's top flight this term.
If the World Player of the Year continues at his current pace, his tally for the season will be more than 60, comfortably surpassing Messi's record set in 2011-12.
The 29-year-old Ronaldo is the first player to reach 20 goals in the opening 12 rounds of La Liga.
