Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Champions League Free-Kick for Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally got his free-kick mojo back!

The Portuguese superstar put Real Madrid 3-0 up against Malmo in the 39th minute of their Champions League clash when his dead ball beat Johan Wiland between the sticks. 

The goal might have come as a result of some generous goalkeeping, but Ronaldo has earned his eighth goal of the current Champions League campaign and his 85th in the competition overall.

He wasn't done there, as he went on to score three (!) more times in a 20-minute span.

The goal-haul certainly went a lot better than this overhead kick attempt in the first-half.
