Five-goal Ronaldo a 'phenomenon', says Real Madrid's Benzema

Cristiano Ronaldo was hailed as a "phenomenon" following his five-goal display in Real Madrid's 9-1 thrashing of Granada on Sunday. 

The forward, 30, hit a first-half hat-trick within eight minutes following Gareth Bale's opener to help put Real a point behind La Liga leaders Barcelona. 

"Cristiano is a phenomenon, he is always looking for goals," said Real team-mate Karim Benzema.

"We're in good shape to continue like that until the end of the season." 

France striker Benzema scored twice during a five-minute spell early in the second half that included Ronaldo's fourth goal, with Real leading 7-0 by the 57th minute. 

Granada pulled one back through Robert Ibanez, but Diego Mainz's own goal and a late header from Ronaldo sealed Real's emphatic win. 
 

It was the Portugual star's fifth hat-trick of the La Liga season, and the first time he had scored five in the same game. 

"Him (Ronaldo), Bale and me, we're in good form, like always," added Benzema.
