Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona 2011, El Clasico: Cristiano Ronaldo Records First Shot Of Match

We have our first shot of the game, and it's the hosts who've registered it. Sami Khedira earned a free kick in a dangerous area of the field - Barcelona left back Adriano inexplicably picking up a booking in the process - and who else but Cristiano Ronaldo would take the set piece? The ex-Manchester United star ripped the ball low and hard, but right at Victor Valdes in the Barcelona goal. The goalkeeper caught it first time, which is fairly fortunate as there were several white shirts chasing in looking to crash home a possible rebound.

Moments later and Brazilian right back Dani Alves was nearly in behind the Real defence, only to be thwarted (correctly) by the offside flag. The free kick remains the only real chance of the match, although it took a brilliant block by Carlos Puyol to get in the way of Ronaldo completing a brilliant one-two with Angel di Maria which would have left the Argentine winger clear in on goal.
