At UEFA Euro 2000, there were a joint-record two hat-tricks: Sérgio Conceição scored all of the goals in Portugal's group stage victory over Germany, and Patrick Kluivert recorded three goals in the Netherlands' 6–1 win over Yugoslavia in the quarter-finals. The most recent hat-trick to be scored at the European Championship finals was by Spain's David Villa, who scored three times in a 4–1 win over Russia in the group stage of the 2008 tournament.
