Utterly brilliant work. Juventus had never come back from a 2-0 deficit to win a Champions League contest. Well, the club has a new first thanks to their newest superstar.
The hat-trick was his eighth (!!!!) in Champions League play and tied him with Lionel Messi with the most in the history of the competition.
