Video: Real Madrid 8 -Vs- 0 Malmo FF (Champions League) Highlights

Cristiano Ronaldo set a record for goals scored in the group stage of the Champions League of 11 when he scored four in an 8-0 win against Malmo in Group A on Tuesday.


The goals came in 22 minutes. The Portugal forward made it 3-0 to his team seven minutes before half-time at the Bernabéu and added three more in the 47th, 50th and 59th minutes.


Ronaldo, who has reached double figures for a fifth consecutive Champions League campaign, extended his all-time Champions League scoring record to 88 goals.


He is the first Real player to score four goals in a Champions League match, with the overall record of five held by Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano, who achieved the feat with Shakhtar Donetsk but now plays for Milan.


Ronaldo’s first goal improved his surprisingly poor record at free-kicks. It was only the third free-kick the Ballon d’Or holder had scored from in his last 97 attempts in all competitions,
according to Spanish Twitter statistician @2010MisterChip.


Ronaldo, 30, has scored 10 free-kicks in 146 attempts in the Champions League since 2003-04, according to Opta statistics.
