Cristiano Ronaldo’s double gave Real Madrid a 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon in La Liga on Saturday.
The Portugal superstar netted twice in the opening 20 minutes, only for Carlos Carmona to pull a goal back for the visitors.
Gijon could have earned a shock point late on, too, but Duje Cop smashed a penalty against the crossbar.
