Mastantuono Shatters Records at 18 | MLS News

Franco Mastantuono just shattered records, becoming the youngest Argentine ever to score a hat trick in Europe’s top five leagues — and he did it in style for Fiorentina. At just 18 years and 28 days old, he broke Lionel Messi’s record from 2007 and set a new club mark for Fiorentina, netting all three goals in their dramatic 4-2 win over Venezia. His blistering performance — two goals in under 90 seconds, then the winner late in stoppage time — gave Fiorentina their first points of the season and sent shockwaves through football circles. On loan from Real Madrid, where his last campaign was overshadowed by criticism and only three goals in 35 games, this explosive display is exactly what he needs to prove he belongs at the highest level. With no buy option, his future hinges on proving himself — and fans are watching closely to see if he can turn heads and return home a superstar.
