Rafael Benitez has paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo after he reached two milestones against Malmo in the Champions League.
Real Madrid head coach Rafael Benitez has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo's achievement after the Portuguese attacker moved level with Raul at the top of the club's goal-scoring charts.
The 30-year-old scored both goals in his side's 2-0 win over 10-man Malmo, the first of which was his 500th career goal, while the second took his Madrid tally to 323 strikes.
Ronaldo reached the club mark in 308 games, while Raul took 741 matches. The former Manchester United star will have the chance to break the record outright in the derby against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
