Vitinha shines, fifth Portuguese with Champions League hat-trick | OneFootball

Vitinha became, this Wednesday, the fifth Portuguese footballer to score three goals in the Champions League.

The midfielder scored three of the five goals in PSG's victory over Tottenham, 5-3, in the fifth round of the group stage of the competition. The first two goals deserve to be revisited, before the penalty that sealed the result.

Before Vitinha, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rui Pedro, Diogo Jota, and João Mário had also scored hat-tricks, making this the 12th hat-trick by a Portuguese player in the competition.

Cristiano Ronaldo signed eight of the previous 11 (seven with Real Madrid and one with Juventus), while Rui Pedro (for Cluj), Diogo Jota (for Liverpool), and João Mário (for Benfica) each have one.
