Spanish La Liga News :: Ronaldo scores in winning start for Real Madrid - just

Posted on 2009-08-30 by Gooner

Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot on his La Liga debut for Real Madrid in a 3-2 victory against Deportivo La Coruna.

Real president Florentino Perez spent about 250m euros bringing in the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso to the Spanish capital, (are you paying attention Platini?) and all the new boys were all included in new coach Manuel Pellegrini's starting lineup.

Raul put Real ahead while Riki equalised for Deportivo, before Ronaldo drilled home a 35th-minute penalty after Raul was fouled by Aranzubia.

Juan Carlos Valeron levelled again for Deportivo, only for Lassana Diarra to fire home on the hour.

"We created a lot of chances, but the most important thing was to achieve the victory," said £65m signing Kaka. "It wasn't an easy game."
