Cristiano Ronaldo, whom Real Madrid bought from Manchester United last summer for $130 million, led Real to an entertaining 6-2 victory over Villarreal that moved Real within two points of La Liga leaders Barcelona. The Portugal attacker was a constant threat and led the charge with a thunderous free-kick goal in the 18th minute before having a hand in four more goals. Ronaldo helped set up Gonzalo Higuain for a two goals, assisted on Kaka’s goal, and won a penalty at the end scored by Xabi Alonso.
