Real Madrid Eight goals in four LaLiga matches

Ronaldo pushes into Pichichi territory

Report: CR7 brace does for Gijon

Real Madrid will take on Barcelona in next weekend's Clasico and they head to the Camp Nou with Cristiano Ronaldo in stunning goalscoring form.

Against Sporting Gijon the Portuguese winger led Los Blancos towards a 2-1 victory with two early goals, meaning that he has now netted eight times in the past four weekends of LaLiga action.

With his tally of ten league goals in 2016/17, the No. 7 is now the division's outright top goalscorer, having inched ahead of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, both still on eight.

The injury suffered in the Euro 2016 final slowed the 31-year-old's start to the season, but he has now hit his stride and once again looks lethal in front of goal - which will please Zinedine Zidane given the serious injury suffered by Gareth Bale.

After scoring just twice in his first half a dozen LaLiga matches of the campaign, he has since scored hat-tricks against Alaves and Atletico Madrid, in addition to Saturday's brace against the Asturians.

The Saturday afternoon match was the perfect way for the Portugal captain to warm up for next weekend's blockbuster match, as he scored his first goal at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu since September 14, while he also heard the capital city crowd chant for him to win the 2016 Ballon d'Or.

With the forward set to be rested in the midweek Copa del Rey return leg against Cultural Leonesa, he should step out at the Camp Nou in scandalous form and in peak physical condition.
