Cristiano Ronaldo has scored at least a hat-trick on 25 separate occasions. CR7 is a goal scoring machine and his record breaking form has been astounding. The Real Madrid attacker broke the record for goals scored in a single UEFA Champions League campaign last year with 17 goals in 13 appearance. Here is a list of records the Portuguese international will break.

Ronaldo has so far scored 21 hat-tricks in domestic action for Real Madrid. The only players above the former Manchester United winger is Alfredo Di Stefano and Telmo Zarra with 22 apiece. With Ronaldo already having scored 10 goals in five games, it is completely feasible that the Portuguese international will break the record by year's end.

The Real Madrid hat-trick record is also held by the great Di Stefano, who accomplished the feat 28 times in the Blancos kit. Ronaldo has 24 as a Vikingos and needs five more to overtake the club legend.

Ronaldo should break this mark in 2016. Currently, CR7 is sitting on 263 goals for Real Madrid with Raul’s 323 goals the figure to beat. The Dark Invader has been averaging more than a goal a game since his arrival in Madrid, and given 60 appearances, Ronaldo should set a new record.
