Ronaldo Breaks Champions League Goal Scoring Record

10 Dec, 2015

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player to score 11 goals in the group stage of a Champions League campaign.

The Portugal international achieved this with his fourth goal of the night as his side defeated Malmo 8-0 on Tuesday, having already set a new record of 10 goals with his hat-trick at Santiago Bernabeu, besting his own record twice in the same night.

Ronaldo was previously the joint holder of the record with nine, alongside Luiz Adriano, but now becomes the outright leader after top-scoring in the group stage for the fifth time - also a record that no other player can match.
In the same night, he also scored the fastest hat-trick that any Madrid player has scored in Europe since 1968.
