Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed an eventful first half in El Clasico. The attacker scored past Ter Stegen after two minutes but was ruled out for offside, had a number of attempts at goal, and dazzled with his footwork.
Unfortunately, the Portuguese ace made one embarrassing miss that may make fans forget about everything else. The 32-year-old was handed a lovely chance to score after a cut-back pass found the unmarked Blancos ace.
Unfortunately, Cristiano timed his attempt slightly too late and ended up kicking air. It was no open-goal miss, but it was enough to merit the recently-crowned Ballon d’Or winner teasing on social media.

That miss would be a thing of the past if Ronaldo helps his side to victory over Barcelona. A win would see Zidane’s side cut the Blaugrana’s lead to only five points.
