Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 53rd career hat-trick in Portugal's UEFA Nations League semi-final win over Switzerland and is now responsible 30 per cent of the national team's total. 

The Juventus star gave Portugal the lead midway through the first half with a sensational dipping free-kick, leaving Swiss stopper Yann Sommer rooted to the spot.

Portugal were awarded a penalty on 53 minutes only for referee Felix Brych to overturn the decision and award Switzerland a spot kick after consulting VAR.
