Here's a collector's item as Cristiano Ronaldo misses an open goal in Real Madrid's match with Real Betis.

With the score at 1-0 after Raphael Varane's opening goal, Isco picked out Ronaldo at the back post and considering he was only three or four yards out, it was a near certainty that the net would ripple.

However, the record-breaking star fluffed his left-footed volley from close range and the ball ballooned over the crossbar much to the surprise of the watching world and Ronaldo himself, who looked bemused that he managed to miss the chance. 

Meanwhile, his rival Lionel Messi took less than three minutes to find the net on his return to La Liga as Barcelona secured a 4-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna at the Nou Camp.
