The sensational veteran scores a first-half hat-trick in the 8-0 humiliation of Abha in the Saudi Pro League
C'mon, this is surreal!
Now, he doesn't even need a whole 90 minutes to showcase his brilliance despite being almost 40 years of age.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 65th career hat-trick on Tuesday night, the second in just four days, in the Al-Nassr's brutal 8-0 away win against Abha in the Saudi Pro League.

However, this particular hat-trick was quite remarkable - he managed to score all three goals (and add two more assists) before the break.
The 39-year-old Portuguese star scored the first of his two free-kick goals in the 11th minute. Some ten minutes later, Cristiano converted yet another set-piece, this time from nearly 20 yards away, launching it straight into the top corner.
