Atletico Madrid Is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Second Favourite Prey
Cristiano Ronaldo returns for the Madrid derby this weekend and are his second favourite opponents when looking to up his goal tally.
The Portuguese has scored 15 goals in 19 derbies against Los Blancos' cross-town rivals so far. On top of that, he scored seven goals in seven matches at the Vicente Calderon.
Carlo Ancelotti will be happy that the 30-year-old is available for the clash, while James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo will all be side-lined.
Ronaldo has only scored more goals against Sevilla – 18 in 12 games.
Ronaldo also has 15 goals against Getafe, while Barcelona and Athletic are his next favourite opponents with 14 goals against them.
Of the 19 games against Atletico, Ronaldo has won 11, drawn three and lost five.
However, Real Madrid have failed to beat Atletico in the last five derbies since beating them in Champions League final.
Real will need Ronaldo, who has only scored three goals in 2015 so far, back at his best in order to at least maintain their 10-point gap over Diego Simeone’s side.
