The Portuguese star scored all three goals for his side, netting his 200th Liga goal with his 23rd hat-trick – breaking the record in the Spanish top flight
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to 200 La Liga goals with a record 23rd Spanish top-flight hat-trick in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Celta.
The Portugal star celebrated his Ballon d’Or nomination in stunning style by scoring all three goals in a routine win, which also saw Real equal Barcelona’s all-time Spanish record of 18 consecutive wins in all competitions from the 2005-06 season.
The former Manchester United forward netted his first in dubious fashion as he converted a controversial penalty after he was deemed to have been fouled inside the area.
There was little doubt about the other two, though, as Ronaldo shrugged off several uncharacteristic misses to send Real on their way to a comfortable triumph.
Ronaldo scored his second with 25 minutes to go, firing in from the edge of the area, before completing his landmark hat-trick in the dying stages.
Victory sees Real consolidate their place at the top of the table, though all of the attention will be on Ronaldo and whether Carlo Ancelotti’s men can break Barca’s tally when they host Ludogorets in the Champions League on Tuesday.
