Story and significance
On May 5, 2012, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 300th goal of his senior career as newly crowned La Liga champion Real Madrid visited Granada. His penalty brought Madrid level late in a match the hosts had led from the opening minutes.
Ronaldo drove the spot kick into the net in the 81st minute. Real Madrid then moved ahead through a Granada own goal in stoppage time and completed a 2–1 comeback victory.
The milestone arrived near the end of a title-winning league campaign in which Ronaldo had again been central to Madrid's attack. It connected his personal 300-goal mark with another resilient team result.
