We're looking for everyone to have notched a European treble since the competition's rebrand in 1992/93

Football quiz time – all about the chaaaaaampions…

Getting a hat-trick is always a cause for celebration – but to score three against one of Europe's elite marks you out as pretty special. Sometimes a Champions League hat-trick can provide a springboard to a move to another club: sometimes it's proof that you're at the very top anyway.

Over the years, 168 hat-tricks have been scored by 119 players for 55 clubs across over 33 years – some of them are harder than others, too, so we're giving you 15 minutes on the clock. Good luck!

Time to trade European drama for the vibrant history of African football, the puzzling career paths of global nomads, and a high-stakes visual test of the game's most famous threads. If you are ready for a monumental test of historical and aesthetic depth, your next challenge awaits, powered, as ever, by Kwizly.

We begin by testing your knowledge of continental dominance: can you name every nation to reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations? It’s a journey that takes you through the true powerhouses of African history. Next, we look at the ultimate career-path riddle: see if you can name all these players who share three of the same clubs. This rewards those who track the game's most frequent travellers across multiple leagues.

Now for a massive visual challenge that will test your eye for detail. We've stripped the badges away: can you name which teams wore these 50 shirts? For a final masterclass in clinical finishing, try to name the last 100 players to score a Premier League hat-trick. It’s a list that stretches back nearly a decade, featuring everything from Erling Haaland’s dominance to some truly unexpected triple-scorers.
