Serbia's Aleksandar Mitrović and Slovenia's Benjamin Šeško are the only players to score in five straight UEFA Nations League matches, as reported by UEFA.

They share the record for the longest scoring streak. Mitrović got his five goals between June 5, 2022 and October 12, 2024. Šeško matched this between June 12, 2022 and September 9, 2024.

Both players scored hat-tricks during these streaks. Mitrović hit three against Sweden on September 24, 2022. Šeško scored three against Kazakhstan on September 9, 2024.

UEFA also shared on Saturday that 18 different players have scored hat-tricks in the Nations League. Finland's Joel Pohjanpalo joined this list after scoring three in Finland's 7-0 win over San Marino in September 2026.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, is the only player to score a hat-trick in the Nations League Finals. He achieved this against Switzerland in the semi-final in 2019.

Norway's Erling Haaland and Spain's Ferran Torres are the youngest players to score hat-tricks in the Nations League. Haaland did it at 20 years and 82 days old, while Torres was 20 years and 262 days.
