🎥 Cristiano Ronaldo made Atlético suffer once again on this day in 2017 | OneFootball

Throughout his incredible career, no side suffered more at Cristiano Ronaldo's feet and head than Atlético de Madrid. 

He scored a staggering 25 goals against Real's city rivals, preventing Diego Simeone's side from winning multiple Champions League titles. 

On this day in 2017, he did exactly that with a stunning hat-trick at the Bernabéu. 

The Portuguese legend showed off the full repertoire of his incredible finishing ability, planting three brilliant efforts past a helpless Jan Oblak. 

The goals all but ended the clubs' Champions League semi-final tie as Real marched on to the second title of their three-in-a-row success. 

The season was arguably the absolute peak of Ronaldo's powers as he also scored five against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and two against Juventus in the final. 

Ronaldo would join Juve in 2018 and knock  Atlético again in his debut season with, you guessed it, a hat-trick. 

There's a reason - or several - for his status as the best player in Champions League history.
