Cristiano Ronaldo scored another European hat-trick as
Real Madrid beat Atletico 3-0 in their Champions League
semi-final, first leg clash on Tuesday.
The Portugal international has now netted back-to-back
trebles in the competition after also doing so against
Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and put himself on
level terms with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi for Champions
League hat-tricks (7).
Ronaldo wasted no time in putting the home side ahead,
nodding home in the ninth minute from a Casemiro cross
and emanated a fantastic finish in the 73rd minute to
double Real’s lead.
He rounded off a fine evening for himself and his club by
slotting home from the middle of the box 13 minutes later
to put Real in the driving seat in the tie, where they will
take their 3-0 advantage into next Wednesday’s second
leg at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.
