Franco Mastantuono and Fiorentina
11 September 2026
Franco Mastantuono scored a hat-trick as Fiorentina beat Venezia 4-2 for their first Serie A win of the season. The Real Madrid loanee became the youngest Argentine to score a hat-trick in Europe’s top five leagues at 19 years and 28 days.
Mastantuono scored twice before half-time and completed his treble after the break, surpassing Lionel Messi’s previous Argentine age mark by 231 days. The victory also gave returning coach Paolo Vanoli an immediate win after Fabio Grosso was dismissed.
