Cristiano Ronaldo is overjoyed with Real Madrid's winning start to the Champions League campaign.

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he is "very happy" with his hat-trick against Galatasaray in Istanbul on Tuesday.

The Portugal international scored all of his three goals in the second half, as Carlo Ancelotti's men ran out 6-1 winners against their Turkish hosts in Champions League Group B.

"To start off by scoring six goals gives us confidence," Madrid's official website quotes him as saying. "We started well, which was our job. Galatasaray were a tough opponent and made it hard for us in the first 20 minutes, even though later on we completely controlled the match.

"They started off creating the better chances, but we responded with a goal and the team played well. It was a very good match on a group and on an individual level because I scored three goals to help the team win. The last few days have been very nice for me.

"I am very happy. We did what we had to do, which was winning, and the other teams drew, so that's even better. The next two matches are at home and if we win those the group will look very good for us."

Karim Benzema netted twice against Galatasaray, while Isco opened the scoring in the 33rd minute.
