Slump, what slump?
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal in three matches on Wednesday, taking advantage of lackadaisical defending from Schalke's trio of center-backs to ghost into the penalty area and get onto the end of a cross from Dani Carvajal.
Too easy.
The goal put an end to the widely discussed barren spell the Portuguese star had endured over the last few weeks.
Seeing Ronaldo find the net in an away match has become a common sight in the Champions League, so perhaps we should have always expected this.
