Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo ended a three-game goal drought as Madrid took control of their Champions League round of 16 tie with Schalke in Germany.
The forward's has last scored for Madrid in January and his form was questioned but he brilliantly show that he still has the goal scoring ability in him by converting Dani Carvajal's cross to open the scoring by heading the cross into the net.
Ronaldo goal of the night has made him the first person to score in thirteen consecutive away Champions League games. He has also tops the list of goals and assists over the last two season of European competition.
The Portugal star leads the way by some distance with a combined total of 29. Bacerlona star Messi is in secomd with 18.
The 30-year-old also created the second goal which arrived moments after Schalke's Felix Platte had smashed against the bar.
Marcelo capitalised, driving into the top corner, and the holders will take a healthy lead to Madrid on 10 March.
Los Blancos have now won 10 straight games in the competition and with James Rodriguez to return from injury to assist Gareth Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo, they have a stockpile of talent to threaten retaining the trophy.
