Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has ousted Lionel Messi atop the Sky Sports La Liga Power Rankings.
Ronaldo smashed a hat-trick past Real Sociedad during a 5-2 win to topple long-standing Ballon d'Or rival Messi, who had enjoyed a six-week streak atop the rankings.
Team-mate Toni Kroos also rose above the Argentine after scoring at the Bernabeu, while former Real midfielder Asier Illarramendi retained his top-10 standing with a consolation goal for Sociedad.
Messi slipped to No 4 in the rankings after Barcelona's drew 0-0 with Getafe, while Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann grabbed a match-winner within 40 seconds of kick-off at Malaga to maintain his ascent up the chart.
Celta Vigo duo Iago Aspas and Maxi Gomez remained among the top performers after a 2-2 draw against Espanyol, with the latter scoring both goals, while Gerard Moreno landed No 5 spot with a late equaliser for the visitors.
Real Betis forward Loren Moron netted the matchwinner at Deportivo, while Eibar's Ivan Ramis grabbed a stoppage-time winner at Leganes to complete the top 10, ahead of team-mates Anaitz Arnilla, Orellana and Kike.
