Early life
Real Madrid
Ronaldo began the 2012–13 season by lifting the 2012 Supercopa de España, his third trophy in Spain. With 🌝 a goal in each leg, he helped Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup on away goals following a 4–4 aggregate 🌝 draw against Barcelona.[159] Although Ronaldo publicly commented that he was unhappy with a "professional issue" within the club, prompted by 🌝 his refusal to celebrate his 150th goal for Madrid,[160] his goalscoring rate did not suffer. After netting a hat-trick, including 🌝 two penalties, against Deportivo, he scored his first hat-trick in the Champions League in a 4–1 win over Ajax.[161] Four 🌝 days later, he became the first player to score in six successive Clásicos when he hit a brace in a 🌝 2–2 draw at Camp Nou.[162] His performances again saw Ronaldo voted second in the running for the 2012 FIFA Ballon 🌝 d'Or, behind four-time winner Messi.[163]
