#3 Manchester United vs. Newcastle United (Premier League 2007/08)
Ronaldo's time at Manchester United almost seems like a dream as it was so long ago, with the Portuguese legend almost seeming like a different player given how far his game has come since joining Real Madrid.
Ronaldo only managed to score one hat-trick during his Manchester United career and that came against Newcastle during the fabled 2007/08 campaign which saw Ronaldo win his first Champions League and first Ballon D'Or.
As Ronaldo played as a Left Midfielder as opposed to an attacking winger during his United days it perhaps comes as less of a surprise that he only managed to score one hat-trick whilst playing for the Red Devils.
Ronaldo's first of the three goals came from a free kick which he cheekily hit underneath the wall and into the bottom left of the goal with the Portuguese reaching 20 goals for the season with that goal.
His second goal was equally impressive with the Portuguese being able to expertly control an overhit pass from Carlos Tevez without breaking stride and hammered the ball past Shay Given to score his 50th league goal for United.
His hat-trick goal came from a poor headed clearance from the Newcastle defence with Ronaldo intercepting the ball, weaving past a defender, and hitting the ball into the goal.
Despite this not being his best hat-trick in terms of its skill or his best in terms of opponent, it was his first ever hat-trick which makes it a really special moment in the then young career of Ronaldo and because of that it deserves the No. 3 spot in the list.
