#3. Ronaldo doesn't score but shows glimpses of brilliance
Cristiano Ronaldo might not be back to his best but it's not for lack of trying. The Madrid frontman was desperate to get on the scoresheet and he was firing shots with either foot but just couldn't send the ball into the back of the net.
After Asensio scored the golazo of the game, Ronaldo nearly set the fireworks on cue after cutting in from the left wing and trying to carve one into the right top corner. He missed by inches but characteristically, he wasn't done influencing the game.
But Real Madrid's 3rd goal was the handiwork of Senor one-and-only. It was the trademark Los Blancos defence-to-attack transition which happens in the blink of an eye.
Asensio and Ronaldo combined delightfully on the right flank before he was all free to surge on ahead unchallenged. Ronaldo then picked Isco out in the centre of the box with pin-point precision. Isco didn't even have to adjust his feet-- it was served to him on a silver platter.
Ronaldo was stone-faced during the celebrations and you get the feeling that the man's hunger for goals will sooner or later be satiated.
