#3 The curious case of Cristiano Ronaldo

What's up with Ronaldo?

Historically when a player goes out of goal-scoring form he fails to score in every competition or when a player is in top form in front of goal he scores goals across all competitions.

However, in the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, it is a bit different. While Cristiano Ronaldo has banged on goals in other competitions, he has struggled to find the back of the net regularly in La Liga which has affected Real Madrid to no end.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored in each Champions League group stage game becoming the first player ever to do so scoring 9 goals in the process, scored in both games of Club World Cup helping Real Madrid to win the title, scored in 30 minutes against Barcelona in Spanish Super Cup.

However, in La Liga he just can't score at the moment it seems. He has scored just 4 goals in 13 La Liga games this season. This has created problems for Real Madrid in La Liga as they find themselves on 4th position, 16 points off the top.

Real Madrid would need their talisman to step up if they are to have any chance of winning the silverware this season.
