Robert Lewandowski became the oldest player to score a hat‑trick in the UEFA Nations League, guiding Poland to a 6‑0 victory in their latest group match.
The Polish striker netted three goals as his side ran riot, contributing to a comprehensive win that left the opposition without reply.
Lewandowski’s feat eclipsed the previous record held by Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been the oldest player to achieve a Nations League hat‑trick before being overtaken by the veteran forward.
The UEFA Nations League, launched in 2018, pits European national teams against each other in a league‑format competition that runs alongside traditional qualifiers and friendlies.
Poland’s dominant performance, highlighted by Lewandowski’s record‑breaking display, strengthens their position in the group and underscores the striker’s enduring quality on the international stage.
