Ronaldo breaks Champions League record
Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo broke his own record for the number of goals scored in a Champions League group stage by netting his 10th in the game with Malmo FF on Tuesday.
The Portugal captain started the evening on 7, but a hat-trick against the Swedes saw him surpass his total from the 2013-2014 season in which he scored 9 times - a figure matched by then Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano last term.
The record-breaking goal came in the 50th minute as Ronaldo collected the ball inside the box and hit home on the turn with a low shot that squeezed under the right arm of Malmo goalkeeper Johan Wiland.
He promptly wasted little time in grabbing an 11th as Rafael Benitez's men ran riot.
Ronaldo's efforts at the Santiago Bernabeu also saw him become the 4th Real Madrid player in history to score 4 times in a Champions League/European Cup game, following in the footsteps of Alfredo Di Stefano, Hugo Sanchez and Ferenc Puskas.
It is also the fifth successive year in which the former Manchester United man has reached double figures in the Champions League.

Galatasaray handed ban from European football
UEFA has banned Galatasaray from participating in European competitions for one season should they qualify in either of the next two campaigns after breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.
The Turkish champions were referred to the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) adjudicatory chamber last month, with UEFA revealing that "the club has failed to comply with the break-even requirement during the monitoring period assessed in the 2015-2016 season".
Three other clubs who were investigated - Hull City, Panathinaikos and Sporting Lisbon - were found to have fully complied with settlements, but Gala were ruled not to have done so.
Galatasaray finished third in Champions League Group C this season and were knocked out of the Europa League last 32 by Lazio.
They are fifth in this season's Turkish Super Lig after 23 matches.
