Ahead of the last-16 match against Napoli on Wednesday night, the Portuguese is currently on his longest run without scoring for Los Blancos in Europe
Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to score in his last 433 minutes of Champions League action, his longest drought in the competition at Real Madrid.
The Portuguese has netted just twice in the European competition this term and those came in Los Blancos' first two games in the group stages - at home to his old club Sporting CP and away to Borussia Dortmund.
The four-time Ballon d'or winner netted a fantastic free-kick as Madrid came from behind to beat Sporting 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu and then opened the scoring for Zinedine Zidane's side in Dortmund after 17 minutes in a 2-2 draw on September 27.
Ronaldo, who was 32 earlier this month, failed to add to that tally in the games home and away to Legia Warsaw, the trip to Lisbon and the meeting with BVB at the Bernabeu, meaning he has now gone 433 minutes without a goal for Real in the Champions League.
That is his longest stretch without scoring for Madrid in the continental competition, in which he has netted 80 in 81 games for Los Blancos.
In knockout games, the Portuguese has scored 34 in 38 fixtures for Real in the Champions League and he will be keen to add to that tally as Zidane's side take on Napoli at the Bernabeu in the teams' last-16 first leg game on Wednesday night.
