When he’s bothered, he’s bloody class.
And unfortunately for most teams, Ronaldo is very much ‘bovvered’ in this year’s Champions League.
The winger helped Real Madrid to a comprehensive 8-0 win over Malmo tonight with the former Manchester United man scoring four in the rout over the Swedes
His second and third goals of the night meant that he created a little piece of history for himself as it was his 10th and 11th goals of the campaign

It also just put him one hat-trick behind his great rival, Lionel Messi
#UCL hat-tricks:
1 Lionel Messi – 5
2 Cristiano Ronaldo – 4
3 Mario Gómez – 3
3 Filippo Inzaghi – 3
3 Luiz Adriano – 3— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) December 8, 2015
It also meant that the goal-machine had scored more than almost 75% of the teams in the competition
11 goals for Ronaldo in the #UCL group stages this season – a new record. CR7 now has more #UCL goals this season than 23/31 other teams

It was one hell of an impressive performance and one that surely made a few Manchester United fans cry

2 – Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are the first duo to score a hat-trick in a single Champions League match. Duo.

Full time in the Bernabéu. Real Madrid 8-0 Malmö. Hat-trick for Benzema, but record-breaker Ronaldo will be taking the ball home.
