Ronaldo takes aim at Shakhtar

Since he was ecstatic with their victory, Mirror observed that Ronaldo was displaying affection to his teammates, giving them hugs as they scored and when they celebrated their win.

“Obviously we have to wait, I said before two of them are knocks”.

“We are in good form, the work of the team must be highlighted”. The score after the first-half was 4-0 and everyone was hoping for more in the upcoming 45 minutes.

His 3rd goal against Shakhtar Donetsk has left him two short of Raul’s all-time Real Madrid record of 323 goals.

Though Benitez has admitted in recent days that he can not say for certain if Ronaldo is the best he has ever coached, he has no doubt that no player now comes close to his phenomenal standards.

“Gareth is the one one that’s a bit extra adverse however we’ll have to attend and speak with the docs to see what occurs”, he concluded.

Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu, meanwhile, was outraged at the decisions of referee Ivan Bebek.

We can talk about the first 30 minutes of the match when we controlled the ball and had a pair of opportunities to score.

Shakhtar have been displaced from their home city of Donetsk for over a year due to the unstable political situation in Ukraine and weakened by the sales of Douglas Costa and Luiz Adriano since reaching the last 16 last season. Following Taras Stepanenko’s dismissal five minutes after the break it was one-way traffic, and Ronaldo took full advantage. The question is, can his rivals keep pace?

Rafael Varene also failed to appear for the second half with a possible injury, but Real Madrid’s evening got a lot easier after 50 minutes after Stepanenko was sent off for a second yellow card.

Ronaldo’s shot seemed to come off the back of Srna and the Portuguese forward appealed for the spot kick and managed to get it. That same man stepped up to the mark, and coolly slotted home, doubling their lead in controversial circumstances.
