WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Only three players in the history of the competition, before the Belgium international, had managed to have five goal contributions in a single game. Messi scored five times in Barcelona's 7-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in 2012. He was followed by Luiz Adriano, who again scored five in Shakhtar Dontesk's 7-0 win against BATE Borisov in 2014. Finally, Haaland also hit five goals in City's 7-0 demolition of RB Leipzig in 2023.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite equalling a unique record, De Ketelaere was overlooked for the Player of the Match award as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/serie-a-top-scorers-2024-25/blt328a19edeeeb3851#cs06b5fb69e07b276c" target="_blank">Atalanta's Mateo Retegui</a> was handed the prize after he also scored two goals in the game.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Italian club will be back in action in Serie A on Monday as they take on a struggling AS Roma side away from home.</p>
