Cristiano Ronaldo was at his best once more on Saturday, scoring a hat-trick and making another. His a performance was described as "out of this world" by Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The Portuguese international faces a make or break World Cup qualifying play-off against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sweden in the coming ten days. But he signed off from club duty with a dazzling display as Los Blancos hammered Real Sociedad 5-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo clinically drilled Madrid into the lead, before unselfishly setting up Karim Benzema to give Ancelotti's side a 2-0 lead.
However, the final say belonged to Ronaldo, an inch-perfect free-kick securing him the match ball and a ninth goal in his last four matches.
"He’s out of this world," said Ancelotti, speaking post game.
"He scores so easily. It’s hard to find words to describe him."
The 28-year-old forward has helped himself to 24 goals in 17 matches for the nine-time European champions so far this term, including an incredible three trebles.
As such he is one of the frontrunners for the FIFA Ballon d'Or as well as continuing to prove that despite Gareth Bale's world-record arrival in the Spanish capital, he is still very much the main man.
