MADRID -- For Cristiano Ronaldo, theres clearly something special about playing Atletico Madrid.Ronaldo is used to performing well regardless of the opponent but the star forward often finds another level against Real Madrids crosstown rival.No one has done better than him in the Madrid derby, not even the great Alfredo Di Stefano.With his hat trick on Saturday in the 3-0 win at the Vicente Calderon Stadium, Ronaldo reached 18 goals to surpass the former Madrid great as the derbys top all-time goal scorer.To score three goals in a game like this is something that only the great players can do, said former Real Madrid forward Emilio Butragueno, currently a club director. The great players show what they can do in games of this magnitude. Its a privilege to have a player like Ronaldo playing for this club.Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said Ronaldos performance on Saturday should put an end to the debate over best player of the year award.I never had any doubt in my mind, Zidane said. He has shown that he deserves it all season long.Ronaldos performance was tough on Atletico, coming in the last Spanish league derby at the Calderon before the club moves into a new venue next season.A good result at the emotionally charged game was a matter of honor for Atletico players and fans. Watching Madrid run rampant at its ground was tough for the die-hard crowd that has packed the Calderon for the last 50 years.Atletico had been doing well against Madrid recently, unbeaten in six league games, but supporters still remember painful defeats in Champions League finals, when Ronaldo played key roles. The 31-year-old forward scored Madrids final goal in extra time in the 4-1 win in 2014, and converted the decisive penalty kick in the shootout in last seasons final in Milan.Ronaldo has scored against Atletico in three different competitions, with 11 goals coming in the Spanish league, six in the Copa del Rey and one in the Champions League.Di Stefano, who played for the club from 1953-64, scored 17 goals against Atletico.It was Ronaldos second hat trick at the Calderon, giving him a total of seven goals at the stadium that will be demolished after Atletico moves out. The other hat trick came in his first season with Madrid in 2012, and he also netted at the venue in 2014.Ronaldo scored Saturday with a free kick that deflected off the wall in the first half. He converted a penalty kick in the second after being fouled in the area and sealed the victory with an easy close-range shot after a pass by Gareth Bale.The win at the Calderon left Madrid four points clear of Barcelona, and nine points in front of Atletico, significantly diminishing the rivals title chances after only 12 matches.Madrid hasnt won the Spanish league title since 2012.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni Cheap Nike Vapormax China .

Niki Lauda has labelled suggestions Mercedes would intentionally sabotage Lewis Hamiltons car ridiculous and stupid after his retirement at the Malaysian Grand Prix.Hamilton looked to be easing towards his first win since July in Sepang when his engine failed on lap 41, meaning he is now 23 points behind teammate Nico Rosberg with five races to go. After the race Hamilton questioned why, out of all the eight drivers equipped with a Mercedes power unit this season, he is the only one to have had numerous failures and issues.Hamilton suffered failures in China and Russia, and then had to take a hefty grid penalty in Belgium to stockpile three fresh engines -- one of which subsequently failed in Malaysia. But Lauda says it is ridiculous to think Mercedes would favour one driver over another, especially considering Hamilton has won two world titles with the team.Honestly, weve worked for him and for Nico in a perfect way, Lauda said. He won two championships so far with us, we finished the most races ever. So what do you think, we just started sabotaging? Its completely ridiculous and stupid.When asked if Mercedes cares who wins the 2016 title out of Hamilton and Rosberg, Lauda said: We work for both cars the same way, we let them race the same way.dddddddddddd All these questions are ridiculous.Lauda, who also said Hamilton will not be fined for the original comments as they were made in the heat of the moment and were later clarified, thinks the only thing Mercedes can do is apologise.I have to tell you one thing. I know Lewis very well and he will not accuse the team. His interpretation, I cannot accept it, because Lewis knows we do everything we can to give him the best car and the best engine.I personally feel very sorry because my job is engine and team, so I am responsible for the engine. So I really feel sorry for him and I apologised to him that the engine failed.Mercedes is looking into the root cause of the failure.This was a young engine, not an old one, so we do not know the cause. So if we dont know the cause so if we do not know the cause, no-one can say we sabotaged -- this is ridiculous. If you speak to Lewis directly I guess he will not say this.We will have every investigation weve had before. But I cannot give you the explanation to this failure because we dont know what it is, we need to take it home and check it.
