Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid - La Liga
Ronaldo has scored just one league goal this season

When Barcelona signed Paulinho, the Madrid fans around the world made fun of the Catalans for bringing in the Brazilian.

However, 12 matches into the season and the midfielder has scored four goals while Real Madrid's attacking trio, BBC, have scored a combined total of four, with Gareth Bale, who missed a majority of the season due to various injuries, being the top scorer with two goals and both Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema accounting for one each.

With someone like Ronaldo in the side, a lot is expected from the team and while the talisman is in good goal-scoring form in the Champions League, the same cannot be said of his form in the league as he has managed just one goal in eight matches.

It is not that he is going through a rough phase as a player but he is struggling to finish the chances that are coming his way. With his goal drought expected to come to an end somewhere in the future, the Madridistas will hope that the Portuguese can find his Midas touch soon.
