Following his hat-trick display against Deportivo on Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo treated Real Madrid fans with a four goal outing against Elche. The Portuguese star pounded the green and white defense, extending his lead in the Pichichi race.
CR7's night started with a penalty kick...against his own team. While trying to kick the ball outside his own box, Ronaldo touched it with his hand, giving away the first goal of the day for Elche.
The rest of the night, Ronaldo made it clear why he is considered to be the best player in the business right now. Two penalty kicks, one header, and another goal taking full advantage of his speed. Here you have all of CR7's strikes against Elche:
First goal:
Second goal:
Third goal (second penalty kick)
Fourth goal:
After all, Cristiano managed to score seven goals in a three day span. Did he break any records? What did fans have to say about his display? Here are some of the best reactions CR7's antics generated:

Cristiano Ronaldo (264) only 59 goals behind Raúl's record 323 for Madrid and up to 56 games still left for the club this season. Possible.

With back to back hattricks, @cristiano becomes just one away from tying the all time La Liga record of 22. Only a matter of time
