Cristiano Ronaldo's alarming streak of bad goalscoring form

Cristiano Ronaldo's alarming streak of bad goalscoring form

The Portuguese forward wants to win the Ballon d'Or but on this form he should get nowhere near it

Real Madrid saved themselves late on against Athletic Club, like against Sporting Lisbon. Cristiano Ronaldo was culpable of missing several chances including a sitter at the end when played in on Gorka Iraizoz’s goal. He left the Santiago Bernabeu without a goal.

Things aren’t going his way this season. Cristiano has only scored two goals in six La Liga games, against Osasuna and the last in a 6-1 win over Real Betis. 

Cristiano was capable of scoring four goals for Portugal against Andorra and another against the Faroe Islands. But at the top level, for Madrid, he has struggled—three league games in a row without scoring at the Bernabeu, four goals in total all season. A poor haul for someone who is aspiring to win the Ballon d’Or.
