The first time was Messi's record-breaking performance for Barcelona against Bayer Leverkusen in 2012, when the forward became the first player to score five goals in a single Champions League encounter. Messi has scored five goals in a single game twice in his career. The second happened just last year, when Messi became the first member of the Albiceleste to do so since 1942 by scoring all five of Argentina's goals in a 5-0 thumping of Estonia in an international friendly played on neutral ground in Spain.
Kylian Mbappe, a PSG star, scores five goals in a Coupe de France game. (AP) PARIS — Kylian Mbappé led Paris Saint-Germain to a 7-0 victory over amateur team Pays de Cassel on Monday in the French Cup. The victory set up a round-of-16 match against arch rival Marseille. Mbappé scored five goals, including a 12-minute hat trick in the first half.
In the 2015–16 Bundesliga season, Lewandowski needed just nine minutes to score all five goals as Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 5-1. Furthermore, the Polish thief didn't join the action until his team was down 1-0 at halftime.
When the Argentine striker scored 5 goals against Newcastle United for Manchester City in a league match in the 2015–16 season, Sergio Agüero imitated Dimitar Berbatov, who was the only player to score 5 goals in a Premier League game in the 2010s. As a result, Aguero became just the fifth player overall to score five goals in a Premier League game.
In addition to his 60 (sixty!) hat tricks, Ronaldo has also scored five goals in a game twice during the course of his lengthy and successful career. The first of these five-goal bursts occurred in Real Madrid's 9-1 LaLiga thrashing of Granada back in April 2015. The next season, the Portuguese attacker replicated the feat with Los Blancos, with five goals and an assist in a 6-0 thrashing of Espanyol.
When 20-year-old Luka Jovic scored five goals for Eintracht Frankfurt against Fortuna Düsseldorf in a 7-1 Bundesliga victory, he set a record for being the youngest player to do it throughout the top European divisions. When Jovic scores five goals in a game, he joins the ranks of prolific scorers like Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, and Aguero.
