Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo Hits a 34-Minute Hat-Trick vs. Getafe

On a day that Barcelona celebrated their Liga triumph in front of their home fans and sent off club legend Xavi, it would take quite a bit of theatrics from Cristiano Ronaldo to steal the spotlight away from Madrid's hated rivals. 

But then again, it's Ronaldo we're talking about. 

The Portuguese superstar completed a hat-trick in just 34 minutes during a goal-heavy start to the match.
