Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that the race for the Liga title is still open.

The Portugal international put in an impressive display in Sunday's match, scoring three of Madrid's four goals against Levante as Los Blancos ran out 4-2 winners at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The result sees Madrid go 10 points clear at the top of the league standings following Barcelona's 3-2 defeat to Osasuna on Saturday, but Ronaldo thinks it is too soon to celebrate.

"There is still a lot left, we are going to have to wait," he said after the match.

"We are playing well. This was a hard match in which we got off a bid badly, but then we scored and we changed.

"We are doing well and we have to continue like this."

Ronaldo's hat-trick puts him at the top of the Liga's scoring charts, four goals ahead of Barca's Lionel Messi.

"Goals come as a result of work of the team," Ronaldo added. "Personally, I am in a good moment and I want to continue like this."
