CR9 Bags Brace

After his $130 million world-record transfer, Cristiano Ronaldo finally earned part of his paycheck by scoring two goals in Real Madrid's 5-2 win over FC Zurich. In the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, the Swiss side were actually in the game until the very end. Only a Ronaldo goal in the 89th minute and a Guti goal in injury time pushed the game wide open.

While Madrid's new team has looked great up front with new additions Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso, the defense has instead been a question mark. In order to achieve the great aspirations of the Champions League and La Liga, the team must come up with answers in a hurry.
