The Portuguese international had a prolific out against Atletico Madrid, hitting the back of the net three times to score his seventh hat-trick of the campaign.
Few would have bet on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 usurping his goal scoring feats of 2010/11 La Liga season. The Real Madrid talisman broke Pichichi records in fine style, hitting the back of the net a mammoth 40 times.
However, the former Manchester United winger has shown greater tenacity in front of goal in 2011/12 Spanish domestic campaign for Los Blancos, already managing to beat opposition gloves man on 40 occasions in just 32 matches.
In his latest La Liga outing, Cristiano Ronaldo went out on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon and returned to the dressing room on full time whistle after increasing his tally with his seventh hat-trick of the season.
His first was an exception free-kick, that swerved in both directions before hitting the back of the net, leaving Thibaut Courtois stranded in his place. His second was another long distance shot, while his third of the night came from the spot.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 national team captain now has 40 goals in the premier Spanish domestic competition, 52 in all competitions.
Real Madrid director, Emilio Butragueno, was full of praise for the prolific attacker, and believes he has stepped up his game for the Capital club in the current edition of La Liga.
Continuing the praise, the former Spanish international remarked that Ronaldo had a remarkable game which both sets of supporters will remember for a long time. He added that the 2008 Ballon d’Or winner was bursting from the get go and was duly rewarded
for his services with his goal haul.
"Cristiano http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 has been decisive at a critical time for the team and for me it was an exhibition. He has produced a memorable game," said Butragueno.
"He's played a great match from the first minute with a great spirit and passion."
Real Madrid will need Ronaldo to continue his goal scoring heroics with tough fixtures coming in the following weeks. Madrid have the double legged UEFA Champions League semi-final encounters with Bayern Munich and a planned trip to the Camp Nou on April
21.
