Ronaldo vs Atletico Madrid in 2011/12

Vintage Ronaldo. The greatest player in Real Madrid's illustrious history completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot in the final 10 minutes of the game to seal the win.

Ronaldo's hat-trick against Atletico was his SEVENTH of the 2011/12 La Liga season and he also scored in all six of Los Blancos' league games after their derby win.

The great man was playing football from a different planet that campaign, but he actually eclipsed his 46-goal haul three years later, scoring 48 times in 35 La Liga appearances in 2014/15.

Only Lionel Messi has ever scored more in a single season, the Barcelona man finding the back of the net 50 times in 2011/12.
