Ronaldo, after a five-hour pause, returned to Messi's game last night, and the match with Betis was a chance to help the team to overthrow the 54-year-old Santos team record
Cristiano Ronaldo played only the first match this season for Real Madrid at the Spanish football championship, although the program was the fifth round. He paused in a total of four primary matches and one from the Super Cup of Spain, due to the suspension of five games after the first Super Cup duel, when he received a red card and then pushed the referee.
In the meantime, several weeks have passed, and Ronaldo has played twice for Portugal, qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and once for Real Madrid in the first round of the Champions League.
With the match last night for Betis, the Portuguese started probably one of the toughest tasks in the top scorers' championship in Spain, which left nine goals behind the biggest rival, Lionel Messi of Barcelona. The Argentine in the five rounds has already scored nine goals, from that in the 5th round four.
But, in addition to Messi, Ronaldo will also want to help Real to overcome the world record in succession matches in which the team scored at least one goal. That 73-goal record was set by Santos of the famous Brazilian Pele. The Real Madrid team started on April 30, 2016, and since then, until the match last night, the Kings club players scored goals in 73 games in a row.
Santos set the record in the 1962/1963 season when Pele's team recorded 52 wins, 14 unsolved and seven defeats. Real on his 73 matches had 54 wins, 14 rebounds and five losses. The goal difference in the two sets is 245-200 for Santos.
