Cristiano Ronaldo on a roll

Has taken September by storm after dry August

Cristiano Ronaldo is really building up a head of steam. Having drawn a blank in the opening two league games of the season – in August – he has now scored in every match in September, including two hat-tricks and a brace.
The Portuguese star was at the double on Sunday against Getafe, firing home a penalty – his first of the season – before grabbing a second with an ingenious backheel flick. This capped off a magical week, coming hot on the heels of the hat-trick he had notched against Galatasaray in Istanbul five days earlier.
The week before, on 6th September, Ronaldo had recorded his first treble of the campaign in a lightning 15-minute period for Portugal in the 4-2 away win over Northern Ireland in 2014 World Cup qualifying.
Before that, the forward had celebrated the advent of September in style by breaking his duck for the season during the 3-1 defeat of Athletic on the first day of the month. The following weekend, he was at it again, scoring in the 2-2 draw in Villarreal.
With his brace against Getafe this past weekend, Cristiano can point to being the fifth top goalscorer in Real Madrid history, having surpassed Mexico legend Hugo Sánchez. With 10 strikes in seven competitive fixtures this season, the Portuguese superstar can also once again lay claim to a strike rate better than a goal a game.
