Cristiano Ronaldo had scored just one free-kick in his previous 32 attempts for Real Madrid which were leading many to wonder if he had lost the knack.
But the Ballon d’Or holder walloped any doubt away when he scored his second of the game with this effort on the half an hour mark to draw his side level and prove there’s still an awful lot of dead ball sorcery left in his feet.
Since that free-kick, the Portuguese has completed his second hat-trick in as many games by converting a 34th minute penalty in a cracking game against Getafe.
