Most players are lucky if they score just one hat-trick in their entire career, but in order to make the cut for this list, you need a minimum of 18 hat-tricks to your name.

9. Sergio Aguero – 18

The Argentine legend holds the record for the most Premier League hat-tricks with 12, although a certain Norwegian forward is rapidly chasing down that record.


8. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar – 18

Perhaps one of the most underrated strikers of his generation, Huntelaar averaged 0.55 goals per game throughout his career. He enjoyed his peak years with Ajax and Schalke and bagged a whopping 18 career hat-tricks in total.

7. Kylian Mbappe – 19

With a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final, Mbappe arguably has the most iconic hat-trick on this entire list. Given he won six consecutive Ligue 1 Golden Boot awards while at PSG, it’s no surprise that he banged in plenty of hat-tricks along the way.


6. Harry Kane – 24

Kane has already scored six hat-tricks during his time with Bayern Munich, with his latest coming against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

5. Erling Haaland – 24

The Manchester City forward is now only five hat-tricks away from breaking the all-time Premier League hat-trick record which is currently held by Aguero.

4. Luis Suarez – 29

The Uruguayan forward had the best scoring season of his career in 2015-16 as he scored a whopping 59 goals across all competitions for Barcelona. During that season alone, he scored seven hat-tricks.

3. Robert Lewandowski – 33

The 36-year-old recently scored his 33rd career hat-trick against Alaves where it only took him 32 minutes to score his third goal of the game.

2. Lionel Messi – 57

Messi’s most prolific season came in 2011-12 as he scored 73 goals across all competitions for Barcelona. During that campaign alone, he stuck away eight hat-tricks by himself.


1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 60

The 39-year-old is arguably the greatest goalscorer in football history and with his sights firmly fixed on reaching 1000 goals, he doesn’t plan on retiring any time soon either.
