On the anniversary of Francesco Totti's first-ever hat-trick, we take a look at some of the other players to have walked away with the match ball on a few occasions in our history...
Dzeko has scored all three of his hat-tricks for the Giallorossi in European competition - with two of them actually coming against the same opponent, Viktoria Plzen (once in the Europa League, then again in the Champions League). The other triple also came in the Europa League, during the 4-0 away win over Villarreal in the last-32 of the 2016-17 competition.
Da Costa's list of victims: Pro Patria, Sampdoria, Napoli
The first came against Brescia in 2002, with subsequent matchballs being acquired against Gent, Kosice and Bari - all of them coming during the same season (2009-10).
The victims for Pruzzo, in order: Inter, Udinese, Modena, Verona.
The 'Little Airplane' loved a hat-trick, with his victims being: Bari, Fiorentina, Nova Gorica, Chievo and Messina.
The Argentine kept his hat-tricks strictly domestic, with the matchballs sitting at home for games against Inter, Cremonese, Sampdoria, Napoli and Empoli.
The Hall of Fame striker scored his hat-tricks against Torino, Cremonese, Pro Vercelli, Padova and Modena.
Guaita managed an impressive 43 goals in 63 games for the club (0.68 goals per game), so it's perhaps no surprise that record was boosted by a fair few hat-tricks. His triples came against Genoa, Torino, Livorno, Alessandria and Napoli.
A title winner with the club in 1942, Amadei scored three times in an afternoon against Pontedera, Venezia (twice), Bari, Napoli, Liguria and Sampdoria.
The man was often called 'Man-Tre-Dini' for a reason. Nine hat-tricks was some return from the hitman - his exploits coming against Bari, Udinese, Lazio, Padova, Udinese, Palermo, Napoli, Torino and Sampdoria.
