The Portuguese star destroyed poor Elche last night, here are all of his goals in glorious technicolour…
Ronaldo completed his 25th hat-trick for Real Madrid and now has a staggering 264 goals in just 254 matches for the Spanish giants. He is, quite simply, a phenomenon. Elche had the temerity to score first at the Bernabeu, but that was cancelled out by a Gareth Bale equaliser. From then on though, it was the Cristiano Ronaldo show.
His first is a penalty which he despatches with unerring ease:

The second goal was a beautifully-placed header from a Marcelo cross:

The hat-trick goal was another penalty and again was taken with devastating effect:

The fourth goal was set up by Bale, but taken superbly by the Portuguese superstar:

Year after year he does it and there seems to be no let up in his continued assault on goalscoring records everywhere. The man is a freak of nature.
