Page "Cristiano Ronaldo" Paragraph 38

With the departure of Raúl during the summer of 2010, Ronaldo was handed the No. 7 jersey for Real Madrid.

On 23 October 2010, Ronaldo scored four goals against Racing de Santander, the most goals he has ever scored in a single match.

This completed a goalscoring run of six consecutive matches ( three in La Liga, one in the Champions League, and two for Portugal ) in which Ronaldo scored in each match, totalling 11 goals, which is the most Ronaldo has scored in a single month.

Before Real Madrid's 5 – 0 defeat by Barcelona at the Camp Nou, Ronaldo scored his second La Liga hat-trick of the season in a 5 – 1 win over Athletic Bilbao.

His final match of the calendar year saw him score a hat-trick in a 8 – 0 trashing of Levante in the Copa del Rey.
