Alvarez had opened the scoring in the 15th minute before Pep Chavarria's sensational strike and Alvaro Garcia's finish turned the contest on its head with 13 minutes remaining. However, Alvarez popped up with two goals in eight minutes late on to secure just Atletico's second win of the season, moving them up to ninth in the early LaLiga standings. Indeed, it was the Argentine forward's first career hat-trick in Europe's top five leagues across all competitions (166 appearances for Atletico and Manchester City).

Joao Felix scored a hat-trick on his Saudi Pro League debut as he led Al-Nassr to a thumping 5-0 opening-day victory over Al-Taawoun on Friday. Kingsley Coman also marked his league debut with a goal, while Cristiano Ronaldo also got in on the act to send Jorge Jesus' side to the summit of the early standings. Al-Nassr needed just seven minutes to open the scoring through Joao Felix, who was picked out by Angelo before firing a low left-footed effort into the far corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo netted a hat-trick in Al-Nassr's 4-0 pre-season friendly against Rio Ave, underlining that age is just a number. His performance included a header and a penalty after contributing significantly to the team's offense.

"It was important to sign off this year with the win. We're happy we put things right from the Iceland game."
