Rampant Ronaldo puts Real on brink

MADRID - Real Madrid moved to within a point of winning La Liga as Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice to beat Celta Vigo 4-1 on Wednesday.

The European champion leads Barcelona by three points at the top of the standings and now needs to just avoid defeat at Malaga on Sunday to secure its first league title in five years.

"We will go there to win the game," insisted Ronaldo. "We are Real Madrid, we are the best and we want to be champions."
