5 times Ronaldo gave penalty to teammates

#4 To Benzema vs Real Murcia (2010/11)

He has done the same before

Unlike the previous instances, this one came in a Copa Del Rey game to minnows Real Murcia. Having held to a goalless stalemate in the first leg, the Whites responded in spectacular fashion, racing to a 3-0 lead with a quarter of an hour to go.

Pedro Munino pulled one back from the spot in the 82nd minute, but another three minutes later, it was Real Madrid's turn to try their luck from the spot.

Ronaldo, who scored his first ever Copa Del Rey goal in this match, willingly gave away the chance to get his second when he let Benzema strut his stuff from 12 yards, and the Frenchman perfectly placed it high up in the corner to extend the home side's lead.

At the time as well, the former Lyon striker endured a similar (but not this terrible) dry spell in front of goal as Ronaldo and Higuain shouldered most of the scoring burden. But this penalty gave him a breather as he went on to score 21 times in the following 35 games in all competitions.

Another revival for Benzema on the cards?
