Ronaldo treble shoots Real clear
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 11 - 2016

Cristiano Ronaldo ensured Atletico Madrid fans will have bitter memories of the last local derby at the Vicente Calderon Dtadium by scoring a hat trick in a 3-0 win for La Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday.
Ronaldo's deflected free kick put Real in charge in the 23rd minute in the first meeting of the teams since the Champions League final in May.
The prolific Portuguese killed off Atletico's resistance by winning and converting a penalty in the 71st minute and capped a harrowing night for the home side by tapping in the third in the 77th.
It was Real's first league win over its city rival since 2013 while Ronaldo's treble took him to the top of the league's scoring list on eight goals along with Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Real is top of the table with 30 points from 12 matches, four above Barcelona after the champion was held to a goalless draw at home to Malaga which finished the game with nine men.
Atletico is nine points adrift of Real in fifth, while Sevilla is third on 24 after beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-2.
Dortmund stuns Bayern
Borussia dortmund ended Bayern Munich's unbeaten run, edging a 1-0 win Saturday thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 12th goal of the season, cutting the gap between the champion and its biggest title rival to three points.
Gabon international Aubameyang made the most of Dortmund's frantic start, tapping in an 11th-minute assist from Mario Goetze, who was facing his former club for the first time since his move in the close season.
More than a quarter of the game had gone before Bayern, which drops to second in the Bundesliga, three points behind new leader RB Leipzig, landed a shot on goal.
Dortmund, whose win was only its second in the last nine Bundesliga encounters against Bayern, moves up to third on 21 points, six behind Leipzig, who won 3-2 at Bayer Leverkusen Friday.
Kean, 16, makes Juve debut in easy win over Pescara
Moise Kean became the first player born after the start of the year 2000 to play in Serie A when he featured in the last few minutes of an otherwise routine 3-0 win for leader Juventus over lowly Pescara Saturday.
Lorenzo Insigne scored his first Napoli goals for seven months to give last season's runner-up a 2-1 win at Udinese, while Chievo beat Cagliari 1-0 in the day's other game.
Kean, born in February 2000, entered as a substitute in the 84th minute after goals from Sami Khedira, Mario Mandzukic and Hernanes had already set up Juve's 23rd consecutive home win in Serie A.
Kean has already attracted attention with his performances and a prolific scoring record in Juve's under-17 team.
Juventus, chasing a sixth successive title, has 33 points, seven clear of AS Roma.
Di Maria scores
Angel Di Maria and Jese Rodriguez opened their Ligue 1 scoring accounts this season in French champion Paris Saint Germain's 2-0 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes Saturday.
After a sluggish start under new coach Unai Emery this was PSG's fourth successive victory and it moved it into second, level on points with leader Monaco.
Nice, also on 29 points, is in third on goal difference. —Agencies
