Cristiano Ronaldo scored an ideal hat-trick, the 66th in his career, with a right, then a goal with his head and then with his left foot.

The 39-year-old Portuguese's Al Nasr beat Al Wahda 6-0 in the Saudi Professional League.

First with the right, second head to Brozović's cross and then completed it the left.

The fact that it is his third hat-trick in the last 35 days shows how good his form is. He now has nine more hat-trick performances than Lionel Messi

And on the other side of the world, the icon still shines, 36-year-old Lionel Messi recorded five assists in a game for the first time in his career, three to Luis Suarez. Messi also scored a goal in Inter Miami's victory over New York Red Bull (6:2).

With that, the Argentinian broke the MLS league record, as he had the performance of six - five assists and a goal, and he himself broke a personal record in the senior competition for the number of assists, as he had never done it before in Barca, PSG or the "gauchos" selection.

"Messi is not human, he is the greatest of all time. There are records for Messi to break," the MLS League said.

Messi's performance is 10 goals and 12 assists in eight games, on the MLS scoring list, he shares first place with Luis Sueres.
