Cristiano: 409 minutes without scoring

Real Madrid has a strong dependence on Cristiano and so the problems it is having the team to score goals, matching the second-worst scoring streak since Portuguese joined Spain. His last goal dates back to Feb. 6 against Real Sociedad and accumulates since then, 409 minute drought. Precisely at this time, Madrid has won just two of their last four games (Espanyol and Levante) and has scored four goals. The posts also have allied against the Portuguese. Since his last goal scored, he has two shots finished in wood, against Lyon in Champions League and against Deportivo in the League.

February has become bad month for Cristiano. During this month he only scored the two goals of Real Sociedad match: far from the 11 he got in October. The Portuguese has been overtaken by Messi in the fight for the top scorer. At the moment, Cristiano has 24 league goals, while Argentina player has 26. However, Real Madrid is aware that when Cristiano overcomes this bump, will be willing to lead the scoring charts. Besides he accumulates too many minutes in his legs (3,425) and it seems like the main reason for the low scoring average. Is also lower than last season. At present, the crack scores a goal every 100 minutes while in the 09-10 season, he did it every 88 minutes.

Despite not be having a good time, Cristiano adds 34 goals this season (24 in the League, 6 in Cup and 4 in Champions). This figure is higher than the 33 of last season and still lie ahead, at least 13 days of League, the Cup final and a Champions League match in order to improve and expand that number. Nearby are the 42 goals he scored the 07-08 season in which he won the Ballon d'Or and Golden Boot.
