Cristiano Ronaldo’s fifth Champions League hat-trick inspired Real Madrid to a 3-0 comeback victory over VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday, thereby clinching a place in the semi-finals for a sixth successive season.
Ronaldo scored goals in the 16th and 17th minutes for Real Madrid in Tuesday’s second leg, and then bagged hat-trick with a free kick to give Real Madrid a 3-2 aggregate victory and a place in the final four.
Here’s how Twitter responded:

Cristiano Ronaldo has 37 hat tricks for Real Madrid. That's utterly unreal.
(United have scored 39 league goals this season)
