Last night, Marc Guiu became the youngest ever Chelsea player to score a hat trick in a European competition, and he netted thrice against Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Conference League’s league phase.

18 years, 11 months, and 15 days old, teenage sensation Marc Guiu last became the youngest ever Chelsea player to score a hat-trick in any European Competition when he netted thrice against Shamrock Rovers in  UEFA Conference League’s league phase in a 5-1 home win. This win meant Chelsea would finish the league phase with six out of six wins. 

With his hat-trick, Guiu now has become the top scorer of the tournament this season as well with six goals so far. Although the competition is not that great like the Premier League, the youngster's great form continued to impress the Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and the fans. 

The Spaniard was one of the three teenagers to score for Chelsea along with Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George in a great win in front of the home fans. The first-half hat-trick from the former Barcelona Youth Academy player made him become the 80th Chelsea player to score a senior hat-trick.

His hat-trick was the 161st hat-trick in the club's history and sixth in 2024.
