The Galacticos returned to training this week following their 2-2 Champions League Group F draw against Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo was in fine form in the tie, scoring Madrid's first goal before providing an assist for defender Raphael Varane to add a second.
The Spanish giants couldn't hold on for the win however, as an Andre Schurrle brace pulled Dortmund back into the tie.
Taking a break from the Champions League, Madrid return to La Liga action this weekend as they host Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeu.When the two sides last faced each other Madrid emerged 4-0 victors in a heavily one-sided encounter.Ronaldo was on hand to score the third goal of the evening during that match, which happened to make him the first player ever in Europe’s top leagues to score 30 goals in six straight seasons.
Madrid will go into the tie sitting top of the La Liga table, one point clear of their bitter rivals Barcelona.While they are yet to lose so far this season, Madrid have been held in their last two La Liga outings, drawing against Las Palmas and Villarreal respectively.
Ronaldo will be hoping for better for fortunes when he takes to the field this weekend, after his last La Liga appearance saw him substituted off for the first time in his Madrid career.While Ronaldo appeared visibly disappointed, manager Zinedine Zidane insisted he was only saving his star man for the upcoming clash in Dortmund - a game in which Ronaldo would go on to steal the show.
