UEFA Champions League

A hat-trick in Soccer (Football) is when a player scores three goals in a single match. For Instance, if a striker scores three goals in a match between Manchester United and Leeds United, that player has scored a hat-trick.

Due to the relative rarity of the feat, it has become tradition for players who score a hat-trick of goals to be given the match ball as a symbolic reward or memento.

HISTORY OF THE TERM 'HAT TRICK'

The term originated in cricket in the year 1858 when bowler HH Stephenson took three consecutive wickets with three deliveries. To celebrate the rare feat, a collection was taken up, and he was presented with a new hat bought with the funds. The phrase was later adopted by hockey and soccer (Football).

Hat tricks are rare. In the Premier League, for example, there are typically 10–20 hat tricks per season across 380 games. That works out to roughly one hat trick per 25–35 matches. The frequency varies by level.

Players With The Most Hat Tricks in Soccer

Former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers striker Alan Shearer holds the Premier League record with 11 hat-tricks, while Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and ex-Liverpool star Robbie Fowler each scored nine. Harry Kane already has eight to his name, putting him level with Thierry Henry and Michael Owen.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most hat-tricks in La Liga, tallying 34 during his time with Real Madrid, but Lionel Messi has the most in Champions League history, with eight to his name - one more than his Portuguese rival.

In Serie A, one must go back to the 1940s and 1950s for the all-time records pertaining to hat-tricks, in what is perhaps an indicator of how difficult it has become to score in Italy since the advent of Catenaccio in the country. Former AC Milan and Roma star Gunnar Nordahl scored 17 hat-tricks during his time playing in the division, which is still the current record.

Four players are tied for the accolade of the most World Cup hat-tricks, with Gerd Muller, Sandor Kocsis, Just Fontaine and Gabriel Batistuta each hitting two trebles on football's grandest stage.

Most Recent Hat Trick

On October 14, 2026, Bradley Barcola silenced his critics as the Liverpool forward ended his goal drought with a hat-trick in a chaotic 6-3 win against LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Barcola struck twice before the interval at the Raiffeisen Arena after Ronald Araujo put Liverpool ahead in the first half with his maiden goal for the club.

Jeremie Frimpong netted the fourth after the break against the Austrian champions before Barcola completed his treble.
