Despite Real Madrid couldn’t register their first win after six years against Atletico Madrid at home, Cristiano Ronaldo will not forget this goal for a long time as with this goal, he reached to his 650th career goal.
The in-form striker has now converted in his last 10 games, a streak he last managed almost four years ago.
Ronaldo has now netted 446 in Madrid colours, a tally that adds to the 118 goals scored for Manchester United and five strikes at first club, Sporting.
He is also Portugal’s all-time top scorer, with no less than 81 goals for his nation. Sunday’s opener at the Bernabeu, with Madrid looking to gain ground on their rivals for second place, was additionally his 40th of the current season and his 24th in the last 13 appearances.
In the end, Real Madrid had to settle for a draw as Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann equalized just after 3 minutes Ronaldo scored his 650th career goal.
As the Los Blancos will be taking on Juventus in the second leg of the Champions League on Wednesday, Zinedine Zidane subbed Ronaldo when it was 70 minutes on the clock to give him some rest before the vital clash.
