The UEFA Champions League has witnessed some of the great individual performances.
And a handful were capped with one of the game’s great achievements: the hat-trick.
Cristiano Ronaldo has hit seven of them in the UEFA Champions League – and he is the only man in the competition's history to grab three hat-tricks in a single UCL campaign.
But before the Portuguese, there once walked a man who made the name. Two-time World Footballer of the Year, Brazil international Ronaldo was the greatest of his generation.
And back in 2003, he earned a standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd after waltzing into the Theatre of Dreams to annihilate the home-side with the most magnificent of hat-tricks – the pick of the bunch being his wicked, dipping strike from outside the box.
But was it better than Cristiano’s own dipper against Wolfsburg in 2016?
