World Cup 2018: Top 5 finishers of the group stage

#3. Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo has been a dominant figure in Russia

It seems Cristiano Ronaldo is on a mission in the World Cup this year, with his stellar performances at the initial stage of the tournament. It took the Portuguese just 4 minutes to net his first goal in Russia, beating David De Gea with a decent spot kick in Portugal's 3-3 draw against Spain during their opening fixture.

In that match, Ronaldo added 2 more goals and became the first player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup this term. The winger has been at an incredible level, single-handedly leading his nation to the knockout phase of the tournament.

So far, the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 4 goals in the competition, with a decent goal ratio of 1.3 goal(s) per game. He has also been a big threat in every situation, with 2 of his goals coming from his right foot, one from his left and another one, a header.
