Cristiano Ronaldo ended 2010 with another hattrick. His 2010 year stats: 49 goals in 54 games

Cristiano Ronaldo, the portuguese striker from Real Madrid, says goodbye to 2010 with an impressive record: 49 goals in 54 official matches in the Spanish League (La Liga BBVA), the King's Cup (La Copa del Rey), UEFA Champions League and the Portuguese national team.

These stats include all matches played by CR7 in the 2010 calendar year, so it obviously accounts the numbers from January 2010 untill December 2010, and not the just the current season.

The only flaw that can be pointed at this point, is the lack of goals for the national team while Carlos Queiroz was stil the manager. During that era, Cristiano Ronaldo scored only 1 goal in 4 matches during the World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Since Paulo Bento took over, Ronaldo already scored 2 goals in 2 matches.

If we consider his numbers exclusively for this season, Ronaldo scored 28 goals (26 while playing for Real Madrid and 2 for Portugal). In the spanish league, Cristiano Ronaldo already scored 18 goals in 16 matches (including the one against Real Sociedad, which some still argue that it should be earned to Pepe instead). This allows Cristiano Ronaldo to be 1 goal ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi, which has 17 goals. Will Cristiano Ronaldo be the "Pichichi" of "La Liga 2010-2011"? That's something we can only be sure about by May, since both Ronaldo and Messi just don't seem to get tired of scoring.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema both scored hattricks and help closing 2010 with an 8-0 win over Levante.

Real Madrid virtually assured a place in the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey at the Bernabeu, after crushing Levante, who never seemed a strong enough side to be competitive in this game. Levante's defense just didn't have a good night and when that happens against players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria or Ozil, the price to pay has to be high.

Benzema scored an hattrick and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want to be left behind, so he also got 3 goals from this easy game, even though he reports said he was a bit ill yesterday. Xabi Alonso, Granero and Lass Diara also played an important role in this win, simply outclassing their opponents.

Benzema's performances over this month were a bit inconsistent, but today, the french striker proved he can still score goals easily. The question remains though, can Karim Benzema keep doing the same against stronger sides and on a regular basis? Or does Real Madrid need to buy a better replacement for Higuain, while the argentinian is injured?

If there are doubts about Benzema, the same can't be said about Cristiano Ronaldo. The portuguese legend, also described as the "bread and butter" in this Real Madrid (quoting Toshack), just doesn't get tired of scoring and this time he added 3 goals to his season count of 26 goals!

With this amazing 8-0 win over Levante, Real Madrid ends the 2010 year and presents their supporters with a tasty victory. The transfers market will open in January and Real Madrid might be active in some deals, since Higuain condition is still worrying the staff team.
