VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo only needs 2 minutes to open scoring vs. Granada
Make that 17 goals in 10 La Liga fixtures and 22 goals in all competition this season.
Playing in his 700th official career match, Cristiano Ronaldo required all of two minutes to open the scoring in Real Madrid's clash against Granada on Saturday, as the Portuguese superstar had no difficulty slotting home a pass across the box from Kariz Benzema.
Should Ronaldo find the back of the net once again, he'll accomplish something that hasn't been done in 15 seasons.
20': Ronaldo now on 17 goals (10 matches). Last player in Europe's leagues with more after 10 matches: Ruud v Nistelrooy 18, PSV 99/00.
