There are no unbeatable records for the Portuguese forward, whose 15 goals have crowned him La Liga's all-time top goalscorer, at this point in the season.
CR7 broke the previous record, set 71 years ago during the 1943-44 season by Real Oviedo's Echevarría, who scored 14 goals in the first eight games of the league campaign.
Not only did he break Echevarría's record, he also equalled another, set by Di Stéfano. His two goals against Levante mean he has scored two or more goals in 54 games for Real Madrid - three 'pokers' (four goals in a game), 19 hat-tricks and 32 braces -, the same as the Madrid legend. The records just keep falling as the Real Madrid man goes in search of another Ballon d'Or.
Levante must dread playing against Ronaldo. His brace yesterday took his tally against the 'Granotas' to eight goals. Having rescued Portugal in European qualifying, he got straight back down to business in the league. Immune to the 'FIFA virus', he came out guns blazing at the Ciutat de Valencia.
Cristiano, who has racked up 271 goals for Real Madrid looks to be in tip-top condition for what is to be an important week for 'Los Blancos'. On Wednesday he will return to England - where he is still sorely missed - to face Liverpool, before carrying the hopes and dreams of the Bernabéu faithful into Saturday's home game against Barça. CR7 is primed and ready for ' el Clásico'.
Ronaldo claims yet another record
