While Cristiano Ronaldo might be lagging behind in the overall La Liga goalscoring stakes, the Whites legend comes alive in Madrid derbies.

CR7 has cracked in 19 league goals this term, but trails Luis Suarez (24) and Lionel Messi (27).

But, when the city derby rolls around, it tends to guarantee goals for Ronaldo – as the following OptaJose stat shows.

Ronaldo has scored the most number of goals (18) in the history of the derby between Atleti and Real Madrid, in all competitions.

Atleti will certainly have to do their best to stop Ronaldo on Saturday.
