Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick against Wolfsburg on Tuesday helped Real
Madrid overcome a 2-0 deficit and earned his side a spot in the Champions
League semi-finals.
Remarkably, it was his sixth hat-trick this season and the 37th of his
dazzling career at Real Madrid.
The 31-year-old is as unstoppable as ever and the statistics behind his
success are incredible.
His first hat-trick for Madrid was against Mallorca in La Liga in May
2010 and he has repeated the feat 36 times.
To put that into perspective, Alan Shearer has scored more hat-tricks
in the Premier League than any other player - with a total of 11.
Robbie Fowler has nine and Thierry Henry and Michael Owen are next on
the list with eight - Wayne Rooney has scored six.
Ronaldo's match-winning feat against Wolfsburg on Tuesday kept alive
Real Madrid's hopes of winning an unprecedented 11th European Cup and
potentially saved Zinedine Zidane's job at the Bernabeu.
The Frenchman described his star man as 'special' after the quarter-final victory.
