BARCELONA, Nov 5 (Reuters) - With coach Rafa Benitez under-fire for Real Madrid's perceived lack of attacking threat, the Spaniard needs Cristiano Ronaldo to return to his very best at Sevilla on Sunday.

Real are joint top of La Liga with Barcelona on 24 points from 10 games but they have looked subdued up front in several matches and there were whistles from the crowd during the 1-0 win over Paris St Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.
