Cristiano Ronaldo had not scored from a direct free kick since Real Madrid's 4-0 win away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final second leg on 29th April 2014.
But he finally broke that drought with the strike that put Real Madrid 1-0 up against Eibar, though he did get some help from visiting goalkeeper Xabi Irureta, who could have done more to prevent it.
The last time Ronaldo had converted a free kick in the league was on 26th March 2014, against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán.
