The Portuguese striker scored a 'perfect' hat-trick, raising questions about his alleged decline during Real Madrid's woeful season.

Real Madrid's season has resembled a train wreck, but there's reason to believe in a comeback by the current La Liga champions.

Those reasons were fueled by Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick on Saturday, which led Real Madrid to a 5-1 win over the Txuri-urdin. The team's performance showed glimpses of their old form, and CR7 dominated the opposition like he did in recent years.

Just so you find out why we believe this could be the turning point for Real Madrid, have a look at these numbers, especially considering that the footballer is reaching his peak before the UEFA Champions League's knockout stage begins.

Speaking about Los Blancos, Zinedine Zidane has heavily relied on his substitute players since he took over as coach. When you find out which player has made the most appearances for the team under Zizou, you'll know what we're talking about.

Meanwhile at Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona had numerous chances to score against Getafe, but they failed in their attempts to do so. What stood out the most in this clash was the defensive prowess shown by Los Azulones, who achieved something no team in La Liga had managed to do this season.

Nevertheless, Barça's aces still dominate La Liga's goalscoring charts, with Messi and Suárez having a commanding lead in that department.
