Not scoring, but still assisting - Ronaldo turns provider as goals dry up

The goals have dried up for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward hit five against Andorra and the Faroe Islands in the recent international break, but is finding it harder to score for Real Madrid. However, he is still assisting his team.

Madrid fire five past Legia at the Bernabeu

This is Ronaldo's eighth season at Madrid and 2016-17 represents his slowest start to a campaign. The 31-year-old has netted just four times so far and, unusually, he now has as many assists as he does goals in the current campaign.

Two of those assists came against Legia Warsaw on Tuesday night.
