The Portugal international hit his third-hat-trick of this season’s competition to fire Real Madrid past Wolfsburg and into the semi-finals
Who said Cristiano Ronaldo was past his best?
The Portugal international rode to Real Madrid’s rescue once again as his hat-trick secured a 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg to fire the Spanish club into the Champions League semi-finals.
Zinedine Zidane’s men trailed following a shock 2-0 defeat in Germany but Ronaldo struck three times to pull Madrid through.
And in the process, the 31-year-old set two new Champions League records.
He his hat-trick was his third in the competition this season – no other player can match that – nor can anyone else say they have scored 15 or more goals in the Champions League in two different campaigns.
