Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the summit of La Liga's scoring race on Saturday, after his curling shot against Athletic Bilbao saw the Real Madrid superstar join Barcelona forward Luis Suarez as the league's joint top scorers.
The Portuguese international thumped in his 20th league goal when a clever cut inside led to a curling effort that bulged the back of the net inside the opening five minutes.
Race down the wing and fire a perfect shot to the far post. Classic Ronaldo.
