5 times Ronaldo gave penalty to teammates

A grea
A great gesture from a great player

#2 To Alonso vs Villarreal (2009/10)

Real Madrid vs Villareal: La Liga 2009/10
Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso deciding on who should take the spot-kick

In that very same game, Real Madrid were awarded a second penalty just three minutes from time with the tie already sewn up at 5-2. Kaka and Higuain had bagged a brace each by then, and Ronaldo, as mentioned before, scored the opening goal.

So even if the first instance of kindness came as a surprise to many, they really didn't see it coming again; not in the same game for all sake.

With another golden opportunity to add to his then new scoring copybook, the Portuguese once again turned his back and allowed Alonso to step up and score.

For the second time in the same game, Ronaldo showed tremendous goodwill in letting his teammates have their moment under the sun. And in the process, let generously slip an opportunity to get his first hat-trick for Real Madrid.
