The young Benfica forward Joao Felix showed why the most powerful European clubs are interested in his services.
In yesterday's Europa League quarter-final match, the 19-year-old player made a significant contribution to his team's 4-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Portuguese scored a hat-trick and became the youngest ever European League tournament footballer to achieve such a feat (19 years and 153 days).
Looking at the history of the UEFA Cup, J. Felix only falls behind the Argentine Sergio Aguero, who in 2007, at the age of 19 years and 124 days, scored three goals in a match against the Turkish team Erkiiyesspora.
