The Real Madrid star equalled Lionel Messi's mark of five Champions League hat-tricks with a treble to help Real overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and see them through to the semi-finals.
Ronaldo had broken his own record for goals in the group stage of the Champions League by scoring
11 in six games in the first half of the campaign - including four in the 8-0 win over Malmo. That bettered his previous best group-stage haul of nine, which was matched by Luiz Adriano last season.
He then netted twice in Real Madrid's last-16 win over Roma, and his latest hat-trick against Wolfsburg means he leads the Champions League scoring charts this term with 16 goals from 10 appearances.
Only Ronaldo himself has scored more in a single Champions League campaign - he hit 17 in the 2013/14 season.
His treble on Tuesday puts him eight clear of second-placed Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich. Barcelona rival Messi is down in fifth with six goals this term.
The Real forward has now scored 34 goals in 36 Champions League knockout appearances for the Spanish club.
In total, Ronaldo has 93 Champions League goals in his career - 10 more than Messi - and has gone level on hat-tricks scored with the Barca forward
