In the 2023-24 Europa League final between Atlanta and Leverkusen, Atlanta striker Luke Man scored a hat trick.
According to statistics, Lukman's hat trick is the sixth time that a player has scored three goals in a single game in the history of the finals of major European events under UEFA. The last time a player scored a hat trick in the European Cup final was back in 1975, when Heinz scored three goals for Menchengladbach in the second round of the European Cup final, helping the team win 5-1 away and win the championship 5-1 over Twente of the Netherlands in two rounds.
At the same time, Lukman was also the second player to score a hat trick in the European final on behalf of the Italian team. The last one was Prati in the 1969 European Cup final. He scored a hat trick for Milan and won the championship by defeating Ajax.
