Real Madrid have registered a decisive 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu, as the Portuguese super star bagged another stunning hat trick for the hosts.

Having scored a hat trick in the Madrid’s quarter final victory over Bayern Munich, Ronaldo looked intent on Tuesday to repeat the trio of goals as he gave his side a 1-0 lead with a 10th minute header.

The Portuguese added his second of the night some 20 minutes from time when he lashed home an unstoppable effort past the keeper, after some good work from Karim Benzema.
