While Atletico still have the second leg to play, having to score at least three goals and not concede any in the return leg is a Herculean task for any team in the world, especially when you are playing against Zinedine Zidane’s free-scoring Real.
Here we look at the best Twitter reactions to Ronaldo’s hat-trick including all the goals as well:
Some commemorated both Lionel Messi and Ronaldo
There is nobody out there, or up and coming, that come close to Ronaldo or Messi. Both Untouchable 🙌🏻🙌🏻

If watching Ronaldo play doesn't fill you with joy just because you prefer Messi or vice versa then football isn't the sport for you.

While others found time to take a dig at Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
Ronaldo would probably score 13 goals against Arsenal over 2 legs 😂

Others meanwhile resorted to the same old Messi-Ronaldo comparisons.

We may have won 3-0 tonight, but don't let it distract you from the fact that Lionel Messi blew a 4-1 Ballon D'Or lead vs Cristiano Ronaldo.
