#4 First Player to score 10 Hat-tricks in the UEFA Champions League
The Champions League is a competition where Ronaldo has been at his dominant best in recent years. The Portuguese has lifted the trophy four times this decade and finished as the top scorer on six of the previous seven campaigns.
He already has a goalscoring milestone to his name in becoming the first player to reach a century of goals and now has a golden chance to add the title of being the first player to reach 10 hat-tricks in the competition.
At present, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is tied with his eternal rival Lionel Messi in terms of hat-tricks scored with both legends managing a three-goal haul on eight occasions so far.
Though this honour might as well go to Messi, odds are in the favour the former Manchester United man to reach the iconic landmark first, given his penchant for finding the back of the net in the competition.
It should be noted that the group stage draws to be held in Monaco later this month, will also have a say in the matter, but one thing's for sure, given Messi and Ronaldo's evergreen form we are bound to get our first double-digit hat-trick man in the UCL this campaign itself.
