Ronaldo leads Madrid win over FC Zurich.

Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, the world player of the year made two goals on his first outing on the Champion’s League to lead his team chalk up a rousing 5-2 triumph over FC Zurich.
Ronaldo proved his record-breaking $135 million contract with Real Madrid is all worth him. During the game Ronaldo unleashed a trademark free kick at some crucial moments of the game, his exciting link play with similarly high-profile teammates Kaka and Raul, cemented the stature of Real Madrid as the world’s most popular club football.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez was one of the responsible figures in the acquisition of Ronaldo, he convinced Spanish banks during the financial crunch that affected world economies to fund a $360-million that will attract players that could bring back the club’s reputation as a title contender after seven straight years of lackluster performance in the Champion’s League.
With most money spent on forwards rather than with defenders, pressure seems to be on the shoulders of Ronaldo.
“I never feel pressure,” the 24-year-old Ronaldo said. “I just work to score goals. I scored two and I’m really pleased for that but the important thing is to win games.”
