Tao Wei, standing nearby, chimed in with the stats at just the right moment:
"Li Yufei has completed a hat-trick in this match, which means he's broken another record."
"That's the record for the youngest hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League."
"The previous record-holder was Rooney of Manchester United. He scored a hat-trick on his Champions League debut in 2004, at the age of 18 years and 335 days."

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
