Hat-trick Heroes at the Final Tournament
Dieter Mueller
D.Mueller made three goals in a match at the Euro 1976 when helping his side, West Germany, beat Yugoslavia 4-2 in the semifinals. Mueller's achievement is extraordinary because he had never played for the national team. His awesome debute brought West Germany to the final match.
Klaus Allofs
K.Allofs scored his Euro hat-trick in 1980. West Germany met the Netherlands at the group stage of the tournament. Allofs became an important player for the 1980 European champions.
Michel Platini
Platini followed Allofs' footsteps to win the Henry Delauney trophy while he also made a hat-trick. It happened in the group stage when France outclassed Belgium 5-0. Eventually, Platini became much special because he was the man who scored hattrick twice in one tournament. His second one came when Les Bleus beat Yugoslavia 3-2.
Marco van Basten
His goal in the final match at Olympiastadion Munich is one of the best goal in the history of the Euro. In addition to his wonderful career of the Euro 1988, van Basten also scored a hat-trick against England, giving De Oranje a 3-1 victory.
Sergio Conceicao
Conceicao is perhaps one of some footballers whom German fans will never forget. His wonderful performance at the Euro 2000 truly broke Germany's heart by scoring three goals in the group stage and sending Der Panzer home earlier.
Patrick Kluivert
It was a big disappointment that Kluivert's sensational run during the Euro 2000 could not lift his country's dream to repeat the 1988 success. Kluivert starred the game when the Netherlands crashed Yugoslavia 6-1.
David Villa
Villa was the Spain's important element to win the Euro 2008. His hat-trick in Russia match helped him craft his name in the milestone.
There is an interesting fact that Yugoslavia (now renamed Serbia) is the most conceded team when the opponent's player made a hat-trick. Three of the eight matches when a player made a hat-trick involved Yugoslavia.
