Cristiano Ronaldo scores with the cheekiest of backheels

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 37th goal in 36 matches and proved that he can put the ball in the net pretty much however he likes in Real Madrid's match against Ray Vallecano on Sunday. Ronaldo chased down the ball as it rolled around the box after Mesut Ozil fired in a corner, and though he was running away from the goal, Ronaldo then took a big wind-up and kicked his leg backwards, sending the ball trickling past a handful of frozen defenders, teammates and the goalkeeper. That gave Real a 1-0 lead on its neighbors, but only because you can't get a bonus for audacity.

Ronaldo now has 123 goals in 125 matches with Real Madrid. He'll probably score his next just by yawning.
