Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 25th hat-trick for Real Madrid
with four of the goals in Tuesday’s brutal 5-1 home win
over Elche.
Ronaldo’s staggering haul of trebles has come in little over
five years, after he joined from Manchester United in the
summer of 2009, and, with 21 hat-tricks in the Primera
Division alone, he stands one behind the club record holder,
Alfredo Di Stéfano.
The forward’s tally included two penalties, as Real came
from behind. He made a bad start by conceding a 15th-
minute penalty for a foul on Pedro Mosquera, with Edu
Albacar sweeping the ball home past Keylor Navas making
his competitive debut in the Real goal.
Gareth Bale quickly put Real back on track as he headed in
a cross by James Rodríguez five minutes later and then the
referee pointed to the spot for a foul by Mosquera on
Marcelo, even though there was marginal contact.
Ronaldo scored the 28th-minute penalty and headed home a
Marcelo cross four minutes later to extend Real’s lead.
He was then upended by Mario Pasalic with 10 minutes to
go and slotted in his second penalty while there was still
time for another goal from the Portuguese striker deep in
injury time where he finished clinically in the box.
Ronaldo has seven goals in four days after the hat-trick he
scored on Saturday in the 8-2 win over Deportivo La
Coruna.
Real have outscored their opponents 18-4 in their last three
games in all competitions.
While Real have played some brilliant football, they have
looked vulnerable in defence and are three points behind the
La Liga leaders, Barcelona, who have 12 points and a game
in hand which they play against Malaga on Wednesday. The
champions, Atlético Madrid, have eight points from four
games and play Almeria, also on Wednesday.
