5 in-form players heading into this weekend's El Clasico

#3 Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo cannot stop being 'world class'

The only reason Cristiano Ronaldo is not in the top two of this list is because of the number of penalties he's missed this season. The Portuguese living legend has been in his usual world class form throughout the season scoring 41 goals for Real Madrid but has often come under criticism simply because there are a lot more people who love his arch nemesis, Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo has the knack of scoring in the El Clasicos with 15 goals to his name and the game this weekend would probably be his biggest one for a while given its direct implications of the Liga title race. If Ronaldo were to score, he can set things right with his penalty misses in the month of March.

The former Manchester United man has scored 6 goals in his last 4 games for Real Madrid with two of those being man of the match performances. Given his influence on the game increases with the presence of someone like Gareth Bale beside him, he has every chance to take on Barcelona's trio of MSN this weekend and show them that Real Madrid have an equally strong attack.
