  "summary": "Robert Lewandowski has broken Cristiano Ronaldo's record as the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the UEFA Nations League. Lewandowski, 38, scored three goals in Poland's 6-0 victory over Romania on Friday. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, he was 38 years and 42 days old when he completed his hat-trick.\n\nLewandowski's hat-trick came in his record-extending 170th appearance for Poland and took his international goal tally to 92. The Polish Football Association confirmed that it was his seventh hat-trick for the national team.\n\nRonaldo was 34 years and 120 days old when he scored a hat-trick for Portugal against Switzerland in the 2019 Nations League semi-final. Lewandowski scored in the 24th, 47th and 86th minutes, with his first goal coming from a penalty spot after Romania defender Radu Drăgușin was sent off for a tactical foul, as reported by Punch.",
