The day Ronaldo scored 4 goals in one game for Real Madrid (English commentary) #part 1

Ancelotti has gone for an experimental Real Madrid team tonight. The game is coming thick and fast in La Liga. Rare midweek round of matches. It was the Champions League last week and next week. It's all a chance for Ancelotti to see how some of the players who have been on the fringe of the starting XI will fare tonight. The likes of Hilario Mendy and a debuting goal, I'm sure you've heard it by now, but Keylor Navas, the Costa Rican keeper, who takes the place of Iker Casillas. That's been the one that's been grabbing the headlines. To Ronaldo. There's a high boot in there. And the referee silences the Bernabeu by giving a penalty. Ronaldo controls it and he's fine. He just goes to clear it. Ronaldo surely was trying to clear the ball. It doesn't have to say. One of the most bizarre penalties I've seen in a long time. Albuquerque surprises Spanish football by giving Elche a lead at the Estadio Bernabeu. He makes no mistake as he talks about taking all the set pieces, the corners. He can score a goal or two. Controversial decision. It's one that might antagonise Real Madrid into it. Now James. Good cross by him. Oh, the goalkeeper lets slip. And Bale brings Real Madrid back into the game. A lead that lasted for Elche for barely four minutes. Yep, I said there'd be no panic from Real Madrid and so there shouldn't be. And the referee has given his second controversial penalty of the game. It's a soft penalty, isn't it? Well, it's a very new interval. Cristiano Ronaldo, which is gleeful. It's best to put Ronaldo off, isn't it? Moving across the line. Ronaldo could have told him exactly where he was going to put that and the goalkeeper wouldn't have saved it with that power. Right into the top corner. Selo. Hits it in towards Ronaldo! There's Cruz. There's Ronaldo. And there's the big boot of Manuel Herrera. Here he makes a good save at the near post. Ronaldo. Talking of sharp. Ankle tapped. Yet another penalty. I think this is the three decisions the referee has had to make tonight. It's Ronaldo. It's a hat-trick. Hat-tricks for Cristiano Ronaldo. How many match balls does he ever want to take home? Four tonight, three on the weekend. Seven goals in the space of three days for Cristiano Ronaldo. Absolutely ridiculous but it is scintillating play from Gareth Bale. A surprise when Elche took the lead but then Bale scored and it was Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo around Madrid. The opposition, they all know their roles, they know their jobs, they have the quality. Stuani in front too, providing the goals up front. Kroos for Ronaldo. Brilliant finish. Well he made that look so easy. From the Toni Kroos cutback and the contact was oh so sweet from Ronaldo. League goals have come from set pieces, Girona. Oh, they've got another. What a fabulous header from Stuani. On the end of the Grinnell free kick and Neves just didn't see it. Real Madrid won, Girona won. Well they know exactly what they're up against, Real Madrid. Vasquez, Benzema, Ronaldo. You simply didn't doubt him once he got clear of the Girona defence. But the passing in the lead up to Ronaldo's crucial strike was delightful. Perfect start to the second half for Real Madrid. Well how do you stop him, when you see the replay you see how quick he runs off the ball. Girona simply can't deal with the movement. Several Real Madrid players involved in that and a sure finish from Lucas Vasquez. Well they can't deal with the movement because of the pace of the movement and the quality. Cutbacks on for Benzema, now Karim Benzema and Ronaldo. Chalks up yet another Real Madrid hat-trick. Well it looked like, finally, Karim Benzema was going to get on the score sheet. Just won't happen for him. But it so often happens for Cristiano Ronaldo. A lot of people are critical of Ronaldo. He gets tap-ins, one-touch finishes, doesn't do anything for it. Good looking cross. The header's in! Stuart, he's got his second goal of the night. And maybe Real Madrid can't quite fully relax yet. Still a quarter of the game to go. Modric. Flag stays down. It's Bale! Well that absolutely settles it. Bono getting something on the right-footed shot from Gareth Bale but not enough to keep it out. And Real Madrid are heading into third place in the table. Change of position for Gareth Bale. Claim on this flag. One on the left foot. Ronaldo's corner. A free-header! Girona have got another. Wembley. Time for one more goal. Cross. And there's Ronaldo! Has he got any more room in his house? I know his house is big but it's another match ball for the collection. Four on the night for the brilliant Cristiano Ronaldo. And a nine goal.
