Just the three goals for Ronnie.

But, when they come as easy as they did against Shakhtar, he won’t complain about not hitting five every night.

Cristiano Ronaldo could score any type of goal that you want him to but he didn’t exactly need to stretch himself as Rafa Benitez got his Champions League voyage with Real Madrid off to a cruising start with a 4-0 victory at the Bernabeu.

And Ronaldo will possibly never get it as handy.

Life’s pretty easy when you’re as good as Cristiano. It’s even easier when you get nights like this.
