Real Madrid's Van Nistelrooy delighted with "incredible" 4-goal haul
Ruud van Nistelrooy was delighted with his four-goal haul for Real Madrid in last night's 4-1 win at Osasuna.
"Yes, I have scored four once before, two years ago in the Champions League against Sparta Prague," said the former Manchester United striker.
"But today was a unique day, because from four or five chances I scored four goals and that is difficult."
"All the chances came to me and I was able to take advantage. These things don't happen often. It was incredible."
Van Nistelrooy's four-goal performance came at the expense of former United teammate Ricardo, who was between the posts for Osasuna last night.
"On the field I do not have friends but off it Ricardo is a great person. He is a great friend. I changed shirts with him. But I did not take the ball for me because it is a detail without importance."
