Charles De Ketelaere played a pivotal role in Atalanta’s dominant 6-1 victory over Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday, contributing with two goals and three assists. In doing so, he entered an exclusive group of players who have recorded five goal involvements in a single Champions League match.

According to Opta, no player has ever surpassed five goal contributions in a single Champions League game.

Since 1992, only three players have achieved five goal involvements in a single match: Lionel Messi, who scored five in Barcelona’s 7-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in 2012; Luiz Adriano, who netted five in Shakhtar Donetsk’s 7-0 triumph over BATE Borisov in 2014; and Erling Haaland, who matched the feat in Manchester City’s 7-0 win over RB Leipzig in 2023.

Despite De Ketelaere being directly involved in all five of Atalanta’s goals against Young Boys, the UEFA Man of the Match award went to Italy’s Mateo Retegui. The Azzurri striker also scored twice in the match, bringing his total to 14 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions this season, with 12 of those coming from 13 Serie A games.
