Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his amazing goal-scoring prowess over the last two decades or so.

The Portugal legend has been on a rich goal-scoring spree for his clubs and country over the years and is regarded as one of the best players in the history of the game. He made his switch to Real Madrid from Manchester United for a then-record fee and served the Spanish giants distinctively.

On this day (April 5), Cristiano Ronaldo secured one of his unique records while wearing the Real Madrid jersey.

Ronaldo won multiple La Liga titles with Real and also lifted the Champions League four times at the Spanish club. He scored a total of 450 goals in 438 appearances for Los Blancos across all competitions, which included 50+ goals in six consecutive seasons.

On this Day (April 5), Cristiano Ronaldo registered a monumental record for Real Madrid. In the year of 2015, during the 2014-15 season, the 5th April saw him scoring five goals in a match for the first time in his career. Real Madrid just lost the El Clasico against Barcelona in LALIGA, but Ronaldo lifted the Santiago Bernabeu with his magic.

Ronaldo scored five goals in a single game for the first time in his career, leading Real Madrid to a resounding 9-1 victory over Granada CF. This was a notable achievement as the team scored nine goals in a match for the first time in half a century.

Ronaldo's prowess was on full display with four of his goals being first-touch finishes, showcasing his exceptional skill. Additionally, he scored a remarkable long-range goal that tricked Granada CF's keeper, Oier Olazabal. This incredible feat propelled Ronaldo ahead of Lionel Messi in the LALIGA top scorer race.

The 9-1 triumph over Granada CF not only showcased Ronaldo's brilliance but also injected Real Madrid with the pace needed to continue their pursuit in the title race. Ronaldo's performance was a key moment in the season reinvigorating the team.
