Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo is a "unique" talent following his four-goal salvo against Celta Vigo yesterday afternoon.
Ronaldo's quartet of strikes, which came within the space of 26 second-half minutes, helped Los Blancos to record a 7-1 win at the Bernabeu.
Speaking to the club's official website about his talisman's performance, Zidane said: "I will take away Cristiano's performance. You know about Cristiano, he is capable of scoring four goals, and few players can do that. Therefore he is unique.
"I never scored four goals. Few players can have that feeling. He is at Madrid, he is strong, good, and capable of scoring four goals in 25 minutes. I am delighted when I see him scoring."
The 31-year-old has now scored over 350 goals in Madrid colours since his £80m arrival from Manchester United in 2009.
