Real Madrid CF v Sporting Gijon - La Liga
Ronaldo's clinical streak in front of goal has taken a hit

Those days when Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly rescued Manchester United and Real Madrid are over. With just one goal from 40 efforts on goal, Cristiano Ronaldo has the worst conversion rate (2.5 percent) of all goalscorers in Europe's top five leagues.

Cristiano Ronaldo is going through a goal drought and Real Madrid is struggling domestically and in Europe. Real Madrid created 151 goalscoring chances in total in La Liga this season and have taken only 8% of them. They have a shot accuracy of 48% and are wasteful in-front of the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored only once in 540 minutes from six La Liga this season. He has missed some easiest of chances in La Liga this term and has a shot accuracy of 39%. Last week against Girona, Ronaldo attempted 7 shots on goal without success, misplaced 6 passes and was dispossessed once which was uncharacteristic of him.
