It was Ronaldo’s 62nd career hat-trick. Hat-tricks before 30 years of age- 30 and hat-tricks after 30 years old: 32Fans were quick to react to Ronaldo’s goals on Twitter.
One wrote: “Good to see Ronaldo enjoying his football again.”
Another tweeted: “I swear 50-year-old Ronaldo is better than Weghorst.”
While a third chimed in and added: “It’s a ritual to come back again in beast mode. The way Cristiano Ronaldo is going this season no one will even look around.”

Damac has lost three straight games.
