Real had a hard time against Sporting from the outset, and the visitors’ lead shortly after the restart came as no surprise, Cesar scoring into the far left corner after a clumsy defensive attempt from Real captain Sergio Ramos. Ronaldo was denied by the left post from point-blank range late in the game but then did better on the free-kick to spare Real blushe
"It was against the team where I learned my trade, the club has a place in my heart and I have a lot of respect for them, that's why I couldn't celebrate it"."Raúl is a friend, he was with us the other day and it's a privilege to listen to him, I admire him both as a person and a player".
"This game serves as a warning that we can't be starting games so poorly, because teams will sweep the floor with us and we don't want that. We want to finish top of the group and win".Cristiano Ronaldo made his 350th appearance in his eighth season in the first team, during which he has been involved in 259 wins and scored 367 goals. The Portuguese forward made his Real Madrid bow on 29 August 2009 in the La Liga opener against Deportivo (a game which ended in a 3-2 win for the Whites).
His 350 appearances have come across the following six competitions: La Liga (237), the Champions League (76), the Copa del Rey (28) the Spanish Super Cup (6), the Club World Cup (2) and the UEFA Super Cup (1). His highest number of appearances came in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. In his eight seasons at the club, Ronaldo was won two Champions League trophies, one Club World Cup, two UEFA Super Cups, one La Liga crown, two Copa del Reys and a Spanish Super Cup.
