Real Madrid hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo was proud to fire them into the Champions League semis.

Real defeated Wolfsburg 3-0 in Madrid, winning the tie 3-2 on aggregate.

"All in all, for a poor season, it's not so bad… I'm very happy," said Ronaldo.

"This is what we have been working hard for. God helps those who work hard, and now we are one step away; everything is possible. And just look at Man City, which many people didn't expect. Football is full of surprises and anything can happen. I'm happy because we are one step away from going all the way to the final."

Last night was Ronaldo's 37th hat-trick.

"It's not bad; I've always tried to help the team. Scoring is in my DNA but the important thing is the team. I thank my team mates and the fans."
