Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 300th goal of his Real Madrid career in just 288 appearances

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 300th goal of his Real Madrid career to become the third player in the club's history to reach the landmark alongside Alfredo Di Stefano and Raul.

The Portugal forward netted against Rayo Vallecano in the 68th minute to move Madrid within four points of their great rivals Barcelona, letting out his frustration following an unfair booking for a dive which could see the three-time Ballon d'Or winner suspended for Saturday's La Liga game with Eibar.

Yet Ronaldo joined the 300 club in just 288 appearances by doing what all forwards should, sending a header downwards and beating goalkeeper Cristian Alvarez, before celebrating with Gareth Bale and his team-mates.
