Six shots. Four goals. Then a fifth one. And Cristiano Ronaldo is La Liga's topscorer again with 36 goals above Messi (32)!

Cristiano Ronaldo is back! It might have taken long for CR7 to get his groove in 2015 but his display against Granada was nothing short of special.

There is no doubt that missing Portugal's friendly match against Cape Verde did a lot of good to the reigning Ballon d'Or winner! His hat-trick came from his first three shots on target after Gareth Bale had opened the scoring in the 25th minute. It happened in only eight minutes, making it the fastest hat-trick scored by a non-Spanish player. Poor Olazabal, Granada's goalkeeper!

The 30-year-old winger added a fourth goal with a header in between Karim Benzema's brace before the hour mark. He sealed Los Blancos' 9-1 victory with a quintuple in the 90th minute of the game.

Due to the early kick-off time of the game (3am PST / 6am ET), many viewers in the United States and Canada may have missed Real Madrid vs Granada. If you couldn't see Cristiano Ronaldo's top show live or if you did but want to relive it over and over again, here are all his goals again.  

Goal #1: 

Goal #2:

Goal #3: Long range skill exhibited

Goal #4: It must have hurt, but it was worth it!

Goal #5: And there was time for a record-breaking fifth one! 

Target achieved!

Real Madrid's chase for La Liga's title continues despite their loss to Barcelona in El Clasico. Cristiano Ronaldo can also dream about clinching the Pichichi at the end of the season.
