Since the turn of the millennium, just six players have been able to bag themselves a hat-trick playing for the Spanish national team. Fernando Morientes, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Luis Garcia and Roberto Soldado have all achieved it alongside Pedro, yet the Canarian attacker is the last man standing for Vicente Del Bosque's side.

At present, his hat-trick haul in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Belarus ensures that he is the only active player for Spain who has been able to do so during his international career.
