Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo is keeping the Champions League's statisticians busy.

The effervescent Portuguese scored each of Juventus' three goals against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, wiping out the Spaniards' 2-0 first-leg advantage and sending the Italian champions into the quarterfinals.

Here are the best numbers from yet another historic continental showing from Ronaldo:

1 - Ronaldo is the first player to score two hat-tricks against the same opponent in the Champions League.

3 - The forward managed three shots on target in Tuesday's tussle. Ruthless.

4 - He's totaled a quartet of hat-tricks against Atletico Madrid. Only Sevilla (five) have suffered more times.

7 - Ronaldo only needed seven touches in Atleti's box. Economical, as usual.

8 - CR7 has now recorded eight Champions League hat-tricks, moving him level with rival Lionel Messi atop the pile.

9 - Ronaldo has now reached the quarterfinals for an incredible ninth consecutive season.

34 - At 34 years old, Ronaldo isn't showing signs of slowing down just yet.

679 - A total of 679 days past between Ronaldo's last Champions League treble - against Atletico Madrid (again) in the 2017 semifinals - and Tuesday's outburst.
