Brazilian helped his team defeat Galatasaray.
At Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid defeated Galatasaray (6: 0). In this fight, the hero of the match was the young talent of “creamy” Rodrigo Goes.
The Brazilian managed to score the fastest two goals in the history of the tournament, and in the second half Rodrigo made a hat trick.
Thus, the footballer became the second youngest hat-trick author in the history of the Champions League. At the time of the match Rodrigo was 18 years old and 301 days.
The youngest player on this indicator is still the legend of the “royal club” Raul Gonzalez, who in 1995 scored three goals against Ferencvaros at the age of 18 and 113 days (5: 0).
Rodrigo also became the second youngest Brazilian who managed to arrange a hat-trick in European competition. In the first place is Ronaldo Nazario, who scored three goals in the PSV T-shirt to Bayer Leverkusen (4: 5) in September 1994 as part of the UEFA Cup. At that time, the legendary Brazilian was only 17 years old and 356 days.
