Cristiano Ronaldo's 5 best games at Real Madrid

#4 2-2 vs Barcelona – (Camp Nou, La Liga 2012-13)

This truly was a Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi match. With the Ballon d’Or ceremony hanging around the corner, it was time for both these legends to make a statement of superiority.

And statement, they made, but it was still unclear as to who was superior on the night—such was the level of performance both of them displayed. After Cristiano Ronaldo gave Real Madrid the lead by scoring in his sixth consecutive Clasico, the trumpets were blared as the first spoils of the battle belonged to the Portuguese.

However, it fired Lionel Messi to score two unanswered goals, one of which was a scintillating second-half free-kick. Lionel Messi was winning, but he hadn’t won just yet.

Five minutes later, the former United star took advantage of a disarrayed Barcelona defense and slotted from a well-placed through ball from Mesut Ozil—finishing the game on level with Lionel Messi.

This was his one of his best performances for Real Madrid given that it came at such a crucial time and situation.
