Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé completed the second-fastest Champions League hat-trick in history, scoring three goals in six minutes and 42 seconds during a thrilling 4-3 victory over Olympiacos on November 26, 2025.
According to a report from UEFA.com, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé made European history on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, by netting the second-fastest UEFA Champions League hat-trick of all time during his club’s 4-3 victory over Olympiacos.
Mbappé’s sensational performance saw him register a treble in an astonishing six minutes 42 seconds against the Greek side.
The article details that only one player has achieved the feat faster: Mohamed Salah, whose record, timed at six minutes 12 seconds (listed as 7 minutes overall), came for Liverpool against Rangers on October 12, 2022.
Mbappé’s rapid treble edged out the previous third-fastest recorded, scored by Bafétimbi Gomis in eight minutes back in 2011.
This explosive display marks Mbappé’s second Champions League hat-trick of the current 2025/26 season, matching the achievement of other legendary players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who have also scored two trebles in one campaign.
It elevates his overall Champions League hat-trick tally to five (two for Paris Saint-Germain, three for Real Madrid), placing him fifth on the all-time list, behind the eight registered by both Messi and Ronaldo.
The 2024/25 season set a new overall record for the most UEFA Champions League hat-tricks in a single season, reaching 12.
With this latest feat, Mbappé also contributed to Olympiacos’ unfortunate record, as they have now conceded the most Champions League trebles in history with seven.
The report confirms that scoring a hat-trick at the pinnacle of European club football “is an immense achievement for the elite performers.”
