Real Madrid 2-2 Valencia: Five Talking Points

Srihari

#2 Ronaldo proves he is human after all

Ronaldo’s records have been nothing short of phenomenal. Coming into the game against Valencia, he had scored at least 50 goals in each of his last five seasons and was looking to moving into second place on the list of Real Madrid's all-time leading goal scorers above the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano. Prior to this game, the Portuguese forward had scored in each of his last four matches against Valencia and you would have put your money on him making it five out of five.

Yet, it wasn't to be his day. He missed a penalty and looked slightly off colour on a day in which his side needed him most. While the miss might have ended the club's hopes of claiming their first league title in three years, the Champions League is still within reach.
