Ronaldo breaks Raul's scoring record
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 10 - 2015

Real Madrid opened a two-point lead over Villarreal at the top of La Liga when Cristiano Ronaldo set a club scoring record in a 3-0 stroll at home to Levante Saturday.
Marcelo fired Real ahead in the 27th minute at the Bernabeu when he exchanged passes with Ronaldo and blasted the ball past Ruben in the Levante goal.
Ronaldo made it 2-0 three minutes later when he cracked a long-range effort into the corner, his 324th Real goal putting him one clear of former Spain striker Raul.
It ended a rare four-match goal drought in Spain's top flight for the Portugal captain, his joint-worst run since he joined Real in 2009.
Substitute Jese skipped past his marker and drove the ball high into the net to make it 3-0 eight minutes from time as Real secured a morale-boosting win ahead of Wednesday's Champions League Group A match at Paris St Germain.
Bayern in best ever start
Thomas Mueller's first-half strike was enough for Bayern Munich to win 1-0 at Werder Bremen Saturday and become the first side to start the Bundesliga with nine victories.
Mueller scored his ninth of the season in the 24th minute when he ran past the static Bremen defense for Thiago Alcantara's clever ball, then eluded the goalkeeper with his first touch and slotted inside the post with his next.
Bayern restored its seven-point lead over Borussia Dortmund with its 999th Bundesliga victory. Also Saturday, Max Meyer scored in injury time for Schalke to beat 10-man Hertha Berlin 2-1 and consolidate third place, Max Kruse scored a hat trick as Wolfsburg defeated Hoffenheim 4-2, Bayer Leverkusen drew 0-0 at Hamburger SV and promoted Darmstadt won 2-0 at Augsburg.
Ibra double lifts PSG
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's second-half brace guided Paris Saint-Germain to a 2-0 victory at Bastia Sunday as the reigning champion extended its unbeaten start to the campaign.
Ibrahimovic slotted home the opener on 72 minutes at the Stade Armand Cesari after he was set up by Edinson Cavani despite the Uruguayan being offside in the build-up.
The Swede then netted his second of the contest seven minutes from time as Paris registered their fourth straight league win and avenged last season's shock 4-2 defeat in Corsica.
Former Manchester United defender Rafael salvaged a 1-1 draw with an 85th-minute equalizer for Lyon at ten-man Monaco Friday. — Agencies
