A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid to a 3-0 win over Xerez on Saturday that put them just two points behind Spanish league leaders Barcelona, who are in action on Sunday.
Returning from a two-game suspension, Ronaldo was the chief protagonist throughout for the visitors but in the first half Real did not have it all their own way.
Chances for both sides saw Jeronimo Momes and Ronaldo hit the woodwork at either end but after the break Real began to dominate.
Defender Alvaro Arbeloa made the breakthrough after 64 minutes before Ronaldo wrapped the game up with two goals in two minutes.
Kaka was the provider on both occasions for the Portuguese, who scored first with his head and then via a simple side-foot finish.
“What matters most is that the team won and that we put the pressure on Barcelona. I am very pleased with my return.”said Cristiano Ronaldo. We need to pay attention to ourselves and continue on the path we are on.”
