The Portuguese forward became the first player to score in six straight ‘Clasicos’ away from home when he picked himself up after being felled by Gerard Pique in the 13th minute and struck a powerful low penalty into the corner past Jose Manuel Pinto.

The early penalty kick goal set the tone before he doubled the lead in the second half. Raphael Varane’s header ensured that Jordi Alba’s late effort meant nothing as Los Blancos went through to face Sevilla or Atletico Madrid in the Spanish cup final.

“In the first round and in the Supercopa, the two teams were matched. They were decided by details. [But tonight, Madrid] were far superior and we lacked effectiveness,” Roura, who was coaching in place of Tito Vilanova, told reporters after the match. “In football you cannot always control things; it is a game of mistakes. Madrid are one of the best teams around on the break. This is a thing that we knew, and we tried to control it but we lacked wisdom. That makes Madrid a great team.

Christiano Ronaldo proving his point that he is a big game player.
