Alphadjo Cisse is the man of the moment, having scored a hat-trick for AC Milan last night, and the newspapers made sure to highlight his brilliance this morning. 

The youngster started on the left flank against Salzburg and certainly made the most of the opportunity. Just 15 minutes into the game, he had opened the scoring and before the first half was over, he had added another one.

Then, at the start of the second, he bagged his hat-trick to make it 3-0 for the Rossoneri. It was a perfect hat-trick as always, scoring with his head, left foot and right foot. As you could have guessed, he was named the MOTM in our player ratings.

At 19 years old, he’s also the youngest Italian in history to score a hat-trick in a European competition. It’s no surprise that the newspapers dedicated the front pages to the young Italian this morning, coming up with some really good wordplay too.
