Real Madrid hopes to put a disappointing start to its Spanish league campaign behind it with a home match against Osasuna on Saturday. Madrid is already trailing rival Barcelona after drawing its first match of the season at Mallorca, and coach Jose Mourinho's task has not been made easier by an injury which has sidelined star playmaker Cristiano Ronaldo for three weeks.

Ronaldo has ended a four-month scoring drought by converting a penalty kick in Corinthians' 1-1 draw with Atletico Paranaense in the Brazilian league. The goal late Wednesday at the Arena da Baixada stadium in Curitiba was Ronaldo's first since May 8, when he also scored from the penalty spot against the same team at Pacaembu stadium.
