Social Zone: Robert Lewandowski’s ‘Mickey Mouse’ hat-trick, plus Lautaro Martinez screamer

Bayern Munich - RB Salzburg, Round of 16, second leg at Allianz Arena. Munich's Robert Lewandowski celebrates his goal for 3:0

Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski broke a host of records last-night with his first-half Champions League hat-trick. But was it really as good as it sounds?

The goals took Lewandowski past the 40-goal mark in all competitions for the seventh successive season and helped Bayern to an 8-2 aggregate victory over Red Bull Salzburg.

His three efforts made Champions League history as he produced the fastest-ever hat-trick, bettering Marco Simone's treble inside 24 minutes for AC Milan against Rosenborg in 1996.

SOCCER: All it took was 11 minutes for Robert Lewandowski to break the record.

Question is, does his effort look better on paper than in reality? I mean, two of the goals were penalties and the third was a tap in…

the most mickey mouse hatty if ive ever seen one oh my days https://t.co/m1uexhbjgp

SOCCER: You could argue this one strike from Lautaro Martinez was a lot better than Lewandowski's hat-trick. No sign of crotch tap-ins here - just pure footballing genius!

What a goal this is from Lautaro Martinez! ??

SOCCER/UFC: Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett was at Anfield last night, watching the Champions League.

What a character. The man could meet Joe Biden and still call him 'lad'.

"Jürgen Klopp. He's the man, he's the messiah."

"I think we slap Inter Milan around the pitch and win 3-0."

"I know I'm going to eventually fight at Anfield!" @ReshminTV catches up with the one and only @theufcbaddy to talk all things Liverpool and UFC! ?? pic.twitter.com/1vHp7YJfcm

SKATEBOARDING: Tony Hawk broke his femur in a skating accident on the eve of the release of his HBO special 'Until The Wheels Fall off'.

Talk about life imitating art!

Yesterday sucked. I broke my elbow 20 years ago and managed to make a full comeback; this broken femur recovery will take longer but I’m up for the challenge.
Strangely ironic that it happened on the eve of @HBO releasing a trailer for “Until The Wheels Fall Off,” @samjones’ doc pic.twitter.com/xeVwwtQjVb
