Alphadjo Cissé made history as he became the youngest player to score a hat-trick for AC Milan in European competitions. The young forward scored all three goals in Milan's 4-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg, inspiring his team to a convincing win. At just 20 years old, Cissé broke a record that had stood for 67 years, previously set by Giancarlo Danova in 1959.
Other young Milan players who have scored hat-tricks in European competitions include André Silva (21), Pierino Prati (22), and José Altafini Mazzola (24). Cissé, who began his career at Hellas Verona and later joined Rossonero, scored his first goal for Milan in a match against Torino and also netted against Juventus. His impressive start to his Milan career has set the stage for many more memorable performances.
