Real Madrid extended its lead atop the La Liga table to 10 points after coming from behind Saturday night to defeat fourth-place Levante, 4-2.

The effort brings Ronaldo’s tally in the La Liga season to 27 scores. That’s a feat that, according to Dirty Tackle, currently gives Ronaldo more goals 12 La Liga teams.
“Woy oy oy oy,” indeed.
