Cristiano Ronaldo has been labelled as the player of his generation by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who has backed the forward to rediscover his goalscoring form.
Madrid's 3-0 win over Eibar on Sunday represented another frustrating appearance for Ronaldo, who has just one La Liga goal to his name this season.
"There's no need to worry if Cristiano does not score, the important thing is that he has chances," Zidane told reporters.

"Cristiano is the best player of his generation. He makes the differences in key matches and he deserves all the prizes he has won.
"The goals will come back little by little. We lacked fluency in this game but the important thing is that we have won and kept the clean sheet."
Madrid's victory takes them back within five points of leaders Barcelona, and one behind second-placed Valencia ahead of the trip to Girona next time out in La Liga.
