Cristiano Ronaldo did it again, and now, the Pichichi race will not be between two players from the same team.
Taking advantage of their game against Girona, CR7 & Co. treated fans to a 6-3 win at the Bernabeu, with the Portuguese ace taking center stage with a four-goal haul. This was his first poker of the season, and raised his tally in 2018 to a whopping 21 goals.
With today's performance, CR7 is now one goal ahead of Luis Suárez. Lionel Messi is one hat-trick away from the Portuguese ace, and there are still nine games to go.

This will be a night to remember for Cristiano Ronaldo, as he scored his 50th hat-trick for both club and country. Imagine some had the nerve to say he was finished...

He may have had a slow start of the season, but now, there's no one better than the Portuguese striker in terms of goals scored in all competitions.
