Ronaldo doubled the lead for Real in their
final Group H match against Dortmund at the Bernabeu with a
curling shot into the top corner from the edge of the area in
the 12th minute.
Ronaldo leads the scoring charts in the Champions League for the
sixth season running with nine goals and is the top marksman in
the competition's history with 114 strikes, 17 more than nearest
challenger Lionel Messi.
The Portuguese, 32, is having his worst domestic run in front of
goal of his nine seasons in Spain, however, having scored only
twice in La Liga.
Ronaldo is the favorite to be awarded the Ballon d'Or award for
the best player in the world for 2017 on Thursday which would
equal Messi's record of collecting the prize for a fifth time.
