Is Cristiano Ronaldo out of form? Of course not.

The Portugal captain has brushed away the indifferent form of Real Madrid on club duty by banging in a sublime hat trick beyond Andorra in Friday's latest spate of 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

The Euro 2016 champion surprisingly lost its opener in Group B against Switzerland last month, but the Selecao and Ronaldo were irresistible in Aveiro for a 6-0 win which puts their campaign back on track.
