Some players just look born to wear the shirt. That is how it is for Diogo Jota and Liverpool.
Not just his three goals, as superbly taken as they were, but his composure taking them. Not a hint of nerves, nothing less than complete self-assurance. Jota just looks a Liverpool player, the way some of the greats from the past did. Magic happens around him. Since the start of the 2019-20 season, no player has scored more than a single hat-trick in European competition. Except Jota: he has three.
The first two were with Wolves in the Europa League, obviously, so this was a first in the Champions League.
