Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has lavished praise on teammate Cristiano Ronaldo after the World player of the year netted five goals in his team's 9-1 emphatic La Liga win over Granada.
Ronaldo took his scoring prowess to yet another level on Sunday as he netted his fifth hat-trick of the league season, and levelled with arch-rival Lionel Messi of Barcelona at 24 in La Liga.
Describing Ronaldo as 'phenomenon', Benzema said that the Portuguese international always looks for goals, adding that they were in good shape to continue like that until the end of the season, the BBC reported.
With the win, Real are second in the La Liga table with 67 points, four points behind pace-setters Barcelona.
