"I scored and I helped the team to win with a beautiful goal," Ronaldo said after the game, according to Spanish publication MARCA. "The record is also important, I'm really pleased."
He added: "It's a competition that I really like to play in. Obviously, I also like to score in it."
Ronaldo's strike was Real's second of the night, after Borja Mayoral's opener in the eighth minute.
