Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo netted the 50th hat-trick of his remarkable career as the Los Blancos beat Girona to move up to third in La Liga on Sunday.
Zinedine Zindane’s men are still 15 points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 2-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao earlier on Sunday.
The Portuguese fired Real in front in the 11th minute, but Cristhian Stuani equalised for the visitors in the 29th minute.
Real did not relent.
They retook the lead with a powerful strike from Ronaldo, who then set up Lucas Vazquez for Real’s third before completing his hat-trick.
Girona did not go down without a fight.
Stuani headed in his side’s second, but Gareth Bale scored Real’s fifth, before Juanpe pulled one back but Ronaldo netted his fourth and Real’s sixth in injury time.
