PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) — Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé scored the second-fastest hat trick in Champions League history by netting three times in just under seven minutes at Olympiakos on Wednesday.

Mbappé scored in the 22nd, 24th and 29th minutes — after Chiquinho had put Olympiakos ahead in the eighth. The France international also scored a fourth goal in the 60th after Mehdi Taremi had scored for the hosts in the 52nd.

Mohamed Salah’s hat trick for Liverpool at Rangers in 2022 had broken the record for the quickest ever scored in the Champions League, according to UEFA. The Egypt forward needed six minutes, 12 seconds to score his goals after entering the match seven minutes before his opening strike.

It was Mbappé’s fifth hat trick in the Champions League — and second this season. He had scored three times against Kairat in the second round of the league phase.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have eight hat tricks each in the Champions League, while Robert Lewandowski has six.

Mbappé now leads the Champions League in scoring this season with nine goals, three more than Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen.
