The Portuguese has scored 24 goals in the 17 games he has played for Real Madrid this season
Though it would seem impossible, Cristiano Ronaldo is outdoing himself. A feat of 24 goals in 17 games is practically unthinkable for most footballers. For him, however, it is possible. In his five seasons with Real Madrid, he is averaging more than a goal per game and this average has continued so far this season. With his hat-trick against Real Sociedad, the Portuguese has made his best ever goal scoring start to a season, surpassing the spectacular records he has set in previous seasons
“Cristiano is a world class player and it is incredible how many goals he scores and how easy he makes it look. We are running out of superlatives to describe him”.These remarks by Ancelotti at the press conference before the Real Sociedad game perfectly sum up Real Madrid's number seven. His feat of 24 goals in the first 17 games amounts to an unprecedented start. With his same insatiable attitude, Cristiano is more clinical than ever in front of goal and he has found the net in 13 games, including three hat-tricks and five braces.
