Cristiano Ronaldo went on a rampage against Atletico Madrid, netting a hat trick as Real Madrid battered their neighbors 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.


With his seventh career hat trick, Ronaldo went level with Lionel Messi for most ever Champions League tripletas, leaving the eternal rivals deadlocked yet again, with their nearest competitors nowhere within sight.

Ronaldo and Messi aren’t the only players to grab the goals in bunches though. See the full list of other players that have scored multiple Champions League hat tricks.

Robert Lewandowski – 2

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has netted two hat tricks in his Champions League career, and for two different teams. His first one helped make his name in the 2012-13 semifinal as his four goals helped Borussia Dortmund down Real Madrid 4-1. His second came after his move to Bayern Munich, when he grabbed three in a 5-0 group stage win against Dinamo Zagreb in 2015-16.

Ruud van Nistelrooy – 2

Ruud van Nistelrooy got his first hat trick during Manchester United’s fabled treble season in 1998-99. Of course, he was playing for PSV Eindhoven back then, but his group stage hat trick helped them beat HJK Helsinki 3-1, and when he did make the move to United, he made it count to the tune of four goals as they rolled past Sparta Prague, 4-1, in 2004-05.

Michael Owen – 2

Michael Owen’s first career Champions League hat trick came in 2002-03 in a 3-1 Liverpol win against Spartak Moscow in the group stage. His second came after his switch to rivals Manchester United, netting all three as the Red Devils beat Wolfsburg 3-1 in the 2008-09 group stage.
