Chelsea haven’t had much to celebrate this season, but they can lay claim to one impressive achievement; an attacking record bettered by only one team — Barcelona.
According to data collected by Sofascore, the Blues have the second highest number of different hat-trick goal scorers (3) across all of Europe's top leagues. It is only Hansi Flick's Barcelona who have more (5).
Let's break the tally down to find out exactly where Chelsea's forward rank among Europe's elite.
Chelsea have second-most different hat-trick goal scorers this season
Chelsea fans have seen three hat-tricks scored so far in the 2025-26 season, and all have been done by different players, and that achievement puts the side among some illustrious names.
Player | Fixture | Competition | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
Joao Pedro | Aston Villa | Premier League | March, 2026 |
Cole Palmer | Wolves | Premier League | February, 2026 |
Joao Pedro | Hull City | FA Cup | February, 2026 |
Cole Palmer was the first Chelsea player to find the back of the net three times in a match this season. The midfielder's hat-trick came in the side's 3-1 Premier League win over Wolves at the start of February. Pedro Neto then followed suit just one week later with the winger netting a trio of goals in the Blues' 4-0 FA Cup fourth round win over Hull City.
And striker Joao Pedro was the most recent to add his name to Chelsea's list of hat-trick goal scorers this season. The Brazilian summer signing found the back of the net three times during Chelsea's 4-1 Premier League victory over Unai Emery's Aston Villa at the start of March.
Impressive numbers when you consider only three European teams have netted more hat-tricks, with Barcelona the only team to do so with greater variety.
Only Barcelona's players have scored more hat-tricks
Unsurprisingly, La Liga table-toppers Barcelona are top of the list when it comes to different hat-trick goal scorers. The Catalan giants have seen five different senior players all celebrate scoring at least three goals in a single match this season.
Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and the timeless Robert Lewandowski have all scored hat-tricks this campaign, meaning Flick's men sit clearly at the top of the record table for the side with the most different hat-trick goal scorers.
Villarreal (Tajon Buchanan and Tani Oluwaseyi), Atletico Madrid (Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth), PSG (Vitinha and Joao Neves), Arsenal (Gabriel Martinelli and Eberchi Eze), Lyon (Endrick and Corentin Tolisso), Brentford (Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade) and Bayern Munich (Harry Kane and Luis Diaz) all have two hat-trick-scoring players while Real Madrid (Kylian Mbappe, Fede Valverde and Gonzalo Garcia), like Chelsea, have three.
