🔥 The older, the better: Bundesliga grandpa bags a quick hat-trick | OneFootball

Age is no protection against performance! That's what Kreisliga-Manni usually says when he gets hit by the ball and scores the decisive 10:0 goal. But this saying also holds true in the Bundesliga.

Andrej Kramaric, now 34 years old, has just shown that he still has plenty of brilliant football left in him.

In the first half of the clash between his Hoffenheim side and Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Croatian netted a hat-trick, with each goal more beautiful than the last.

First, the veteran confidently converted a penalty (24’). At exactly 34 years, six months, and 26 days old, Kramaric had already become the oldest goalscorer in TSG history.

But the elder statesman of Hoffenheim was just getting started. At the start of stoppage time, he finished off a combination to make it 3:0, before things got really classy.

Three minutes later, Kramaric beat VfL keeper Moritz Nicolas for a third time with a perfectly placed chip, making it 4:0 for his team. With goals like these, the village elder in Sinsheim is welcome to keep raising his personal best a few more times.
