SPAIN: Real Madrid vs Granada Cristiano Ronaldo breaks three records in astonishing Real Madrid wn
Former Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo netted five goals for the first time in his Real Madrid career as the La Liga giants thrashed Granada 9-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portuguese winger headed in to the game very much like his side in general, out of form and looking largely frustrated as things haven’t worked out.
With just three goals in his previous eight La Liga outings pre kick-off, a recent study by CIES voted Ronaldo as only the 29th best forward in Europe based on statistics in 2015.
However, against Granada he was back to his ruthless best as he took advantage of some woeful defending from the visitors to break three personal records, as per the official Opta Jose Twitter account.
