(Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane warned defences around Europe that Cristiano Ronaldo is only just getting started when the Portuguese returned to action after a month by scoring twice in a 3-0 win over APOEL Nicosia on Wednesday.

Ronaldo coolly rolled Gareth Bale's cross into the far corner to score in the 12th minute and could have scored on three further occasions before he doubled Real's lead from the penalty spot in the second half, while he was later denied a hat-trick by an offside flag.
