Rested Ron in great Nic with pair on return

-

CRISTIANO RONALDO showed no rustiness as he shrugged off a domestic ban to help Real ease past Apoel Nicosia.

The Portuguese superstar took his Champions League career goals tally to 107 and Sergio Ramos added an overhead kick as the Cypriots were swatted aside 3-0 at the Bernabeu.

Real were without rising star Marco Asensio in bizarre circumstan­ces.

The 21-year-old had an infected pimple caused by shaving his legs which prevented him from pulling his sock up.

Former Porto favourite Ricardo Quaresma came back to haunt his old club as the Portuguese side slumped to a 3-1 defeat against Besiktas.

Quaresma set up the Turkish side’s first goal when Anderson Talisca powered his cross past home keeper Iker Casillas. Porto were gifted an equaliser by Besiktas defender Dusko Tosic, who headed a corner into his own net.

But in an end-to-end Group G game Cenk Tosun put Besiktas back in front with a thumping right-foot effort.

Shakhtar Donetsk stunned Napoli with goals either side of half-time to win 2-1 in Group F.

Brazil’s Taison put the Ukrainian champions 1-0 up before Facundo Ferreyra tapped in following an error by Napoli keeper Pepe Reina.

Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik netted a penalty after a foul on Dries Mertens but the Italians could not find a leveller.

Slovenia’s Maribor held Spartak Moscow to a 1-1 draw thanks to a late Damjan Bohar leveller.
