UK Back Pages: Cristiano Ronaldo Is Amazing, Mario Balotelli Less so

Big news on the back pages of Thursday British newspapers—Cristiano Ronaldo is good at football. 

The papers hailed the Portuguese man's impact, as Real Madrid cruised to a 3-0 victory over Liverpool. 

Ronaldo scored the opening goal of the game before a Karim Benzema double had the match wrapped up by half-time.
