Real Madrid No2 Karanka tribute to goal machine Ronaldo

Real Madrid No2 Aitor Karanka paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo after his hat-trick in victory over Getafe.

Ronaldo has now struck an amazing 49 goals in all competitions this season.

"Ronaldo's numbers are truly impressive, and his quality allows him to do this and much more. It is also a product of the work done by the entire team, which also has impressive collective numbers this season," said Karanka.

"Let's not obsess about it, some players have looked to assist Cristiano tonight, but I insist - there's no greater motivation than to wear this shirt."
