With La Liga's title stakes at their apex, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to come through for Real Madrid.

Following his two-goal performance against Sevilla, which pushed him over the 400-goal mark at Real Madrid, Ronaldo delivered early vs. Celta Vigo in a game that could vault Real Madrid to the top of the table entering Sunday's season finale.

Ronaldo curled a perfect left-footed strike from 20 yards after Isco had the ball poked away from him, fortuitously into the path of the Portuguese superstar.

A win would put Real Madrid three points clear of Barcelona through 37 games played apiece. Barcelona owns the head-to-head tiebreaker between the two clubs and plays Eibar on Sunday's last day of the 2016-17 campaign, while Real Madrid is at Malaga.
