Cristiano Ronaldo is an alien, has a hat trick for Portugal

Oh you!
Oh you!

Armenia struck first in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Portugal, but that only served to enrage the beast that is Cristiano Ronaldo. Before the hour mark, he already had a hat trick.

His first was a penalty, and this was his gorgeous second.

And the third? Even better. What a rocket.

But as good as those goals are, they probably aren’t even the best thing he’s done in this game. Check out this absurd sequence of skills.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an alien.
