Real Madrid star Ronaldo humble after ANOTHER hat-trick

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo was delighted with his hat-trick in victory over Getafe last night. The former Manchester United man is now on 36 La Liga goals, five ahead of Barcelona ace Lionel Messi with Ronaldo scoring 49 goals in all competitions.

"It is true that I am fighting to be the top scorer but it is not an obsession [to beat Hugo Sanchez's record]," said Ronaldo.

"It's true my team-mates have looked for me at times in particular so that I would score more, but collective efforts are always more important that individual exploits."
