Ancelotti: Goal did Ronaldo good

Cape Town - Cristiano Ronaldo ended a rare three game
goalscoring drought with the first goal in Real Madrid's record
equalling 10th straight Champions League win on Wednesday
beating Schalke 04 2-0 in Germany.
The holders, whose other goal came through Brazilian Marcelo in
the second-half, will fancy their chances of easing through to the
quarter-finals when they meet in the second leg next month.
Real's victory, which fortunately for the hosts did not come near
the 6-1 hammering they took in last season's last 16 first leg
encounter in Germany, equalled Bayern Munich's record which
was set back in December 2013.
"It's clear that Cristiano Ronaldo lives to score goals," said Real
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
"It's not a problem for us if he doesn't score for a game or two
but it's obvious that the goal did him good.
"It wasn't only a goal for the statistics. It was an important goal -
the lead goal. At a key stage of the season it was important to
win and I think we're on the right track."
