Cristiano Ronaldo Decides the Madrid Derby Again

One of the sporting world's constants is flying sparks in the twice-yearly battle for Castillian supremacy.

This one was tense for more than an hour before Real Madrid put an exclamation point to an 0-3 result that was more of an endurance test than it appears in the agate type..

Real Madrid is at it again. Their latest unbeaten run is still intact, and so is their status as football's überdog.

Cristiano Ronaldo is done with taking goalless breaks and went full mega-mode on Atlético:.

They say a picture's worth 1000 words. It's also worth one word with 1000 vowels.

The CR7 missile might misfire once in a while, but it still does the job.

Ronaldo could be the Spot King these days. No argument here, as dude tucked in another one with ease in the 71st minute that gave the Galácticos breathing room:

Facing a penalty against him is every keeper’s nightmare.

Real's deadly duo combined again when Gareth Bale delivered a skillful set-up to complete Ronaldo’s hat trick.

And critics say he only scores against smaller clubs.

Frankly, that would still be everyone else.
