Alphadjo Cissé, AC Milan and RB Salzburg
15 October 2026
Nineteen-year-old Alphadjo Cissé became the youngest Italian to score a hat-trick in a major European club competition as AC Milan defeated RB Salzburg 4-0. The midfielder broke a record that had stood since 1959.
Cissé scored twice before half-time and completed his treble shortly after the interval, with Gonçalo Ramos adding a fourth. The previous Italian record belonged to Milan’s Giancarlo Danova. Milan collected their first Europa League points despite a late dismissal.
