VIDEO: Ronaldo has just broken the LA Liga hat-trick record in style

Real Madrid ace tops the all time list in Spain after 23rd hat-trick

Celta Vigo are the latest victims to the all-conquering Ronaldo goal-machine this evening

This is why we think he should be a shoe-in for the Ballon d’Or.

Records just keep tumbling when Real Madrid and Ronaldo hit the football pitch and tonight another two were smashed by the men in white.

Ronaldo helped himself to a La Liga record 23rd hat-trick tonight, moving just ahead of Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano and three clear of Lionel Messi.

He’s still 53 goals behind Messi in the all-time goalscoring list in Spain but if he keeps going like he did tonight it won’t take him long to catch up.

The win also means Madrid have equalled Barcelona’s 18 match winning streak as well.

We hope they have a nice glass of fizzy orange to celebrate.

Here are all of Ronnie’s goals from tonight:

It does take from it a little bit but then some would say its typical Ronaldo.
