Real Madrid returned to its winning ways and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his scoring ways on Sunday, as Los Blancos snapped a three-match winless streak to beat Deportivo La Coruna 7-1. Ronaldo scored twice, his first goals in league since December 9, building momentum heading into the Copa del Rey midweek and the match at Valencia next weekend.
