Cristiano Ronaldo is unstoppable and he has shown it again. On Wednesday, Portugal defeated Luxembourg 5-0 in the world cup qualifiers.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the game, two goals through penalties and one header. It was his 10th international hat-trick that means no other player has scored more international hat-tricks than him.
Here are the nations Ronaldo has scored a hat-trick against:
- Northern Ireland – 2013

- Andorra – 2016
- Faroe Islands – 2017
- Spain – 2018
- Switzerland – 2019

The 36-year-old has contributed 11 goals and an assist in his last 8 appearances for Portugal. In 2021, he has scored 38 goals so far, one more than Lionel Messi.
This year’s Ballon d’Or will be so interesting to watch. There will be a tough competition between Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Jorginho.
