Real Madrid defender Pepe: Nothing can stop record-breaker Ronaldo

Real Madrid defender Pepe says there's nothing that can stop Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo scored a record-breaking 23rd Primera Division hat-trick while Real Madrid equalled the Spanish record of 18 successive victories after beating Celta Vigo 3-0 on a memorable night at the Bernabeu.

"There are no longer words to describe Cristiano. He outdoes himself with every new game. Everyone can see that he really commits himself as a footballer and we are delighted because we enjoy playing alongside him. He will bring the house down if he scores an overhead kick," said Pepe.

"It was a really important victory because Celta work hard and pressure a lot. I am very happy to see Ramos make his 300th appearance because he is a great person and he has always helped me a lot. I hope that James' injury is nothing important. We will need to see what the doctors say."
