ristiano Ronaldo became the first player to hit 30 La Liga goals in six consecutive seasons as he inspired Real Madrid to a 4-0 thrashing of Eibar. He scored one and made two as the visitors failed to get close to the brilliant Portuguese forward.

Ronaldo has 37 hat-tricks for Real Madrid after scoring three in the Champions League win over Wolfsburg and he is second in La Liga’s all-time goalscoring charts.

He became Real Madrid’s leading scorer of all time in October, eclipsing Raúl’s record of 323. Ronaldo hit both goals during his side’s 2-0 win over Malmo in the Champions League in September 2015 to pull level with the Spanish striker, and took the record outright with a goal in Real’s 3-0 win over Levante in October.

Raúl hit 323 goals in 741 appearances for Real Madrid between 1994 and 2010, while Ronaldo needed a mere 308 games to match him and three more to surpass him.

In scoring five goals from open play against Granada last season, Ronaldo joined an exclusive list of Real Madrid players, including Eulogio Martínez, Ferenc Puskás, Hans Krankl, Bebeto and Fernando Morientes, to have achieved the feat.In doing it again against Espanyol earlier this season, he became the club’s leading La Liga scorer of all time.

Ronaldo has matched Lionel Messi in scoring more than 25 goals in six seasons, a La Liga record they share.

In December 2015, Ronaldo set a record for goals scored in the group stage of the Champions League of 11 when he scored four in an 8-0 win against Malmo. He needs seven goals in the knockout stages – starting with a two-legged tie against Roma – to break his own record, set in the 2013/14 season.
