More on Real Madrid and the club in their Champions League and La Liga play this season from Reuters.com and they recently won over FC Copenhagen ahead of the Champions League draw.
Ronaldo and Real Madrid racked up the records as they ended FC Copenhagen's unbeaten home run in the Champions League with a 2-0 triumph at the Parken stadium on Tuesday.
Their comfortable victory carried the nine-times European champions through to the knockout stages as winners of Group B.
Masterful midfielder Luka Modric opened the scoring and set the first record for Madrid - who have scored in an unprecedented 31 consecutive Champions League fixtures - when he curled home a beautiful 20-metres opening goal in the 25th minute.
Ronaldo scored Madrid's second, and his group stage record ninth of the campaign, with a simple close range finish three minutes after the interval and later saw a last-minute penalty saved. Real Madrid's Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso will decide "very soon" whether to extend his contract beyond the end of this season, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.
Alonso, who turned 32 last month, missed the start of the current campaign due to injury and Real struggled without his controlling influence in central midfield.
They have looked much more assured since his return at the end of October and Ancelotti said it was "important for everyone" at the club that he remained after his current deal expires.
"We are waiting for Xabi's decision," Ancelotti told a news conference ahead of Real's King's Cup last 32, first leg at third-tier Olimpic de Xativa on Saturday .Real will be seeking their fifth win in a row in all competitions at lowly Olimpic, who play in the regional "Segunda B" division.
The 2011 Cup winners are likely to give some of their youngsters a run-out on Saturday, although Ancelotti said Real's Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo was fit again after picking up a minor muscle strain last month.
The Champions League and La Liga top scorer would definitely feature in Real's Group B match at FC Copenhagen on Tuesday, he added. Real have already qualified for the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition as group winners. (Reuters)
