Demirovic's impressive display came during the VfB Stuttgart's match against Viking Stavanger in the first round of the Champions League. The 28-year-old Bosnian striker scored three goals in quick succession, starting with a close-range finish (20th minute, 1-0), followed by a powerful shot under the bar (26th minute, 2-1), and finally a clever combination of control, shot, and rebound (32nd minute, 3-1). This triple is not the fastest in Champions League history, but it is notable for being the 5th quickest, following Robert Lewandowski (23 minutes), Marco Simone (24 minutes), Kylian Mbappé (29 minutes), and Vangelis Pavlidis (30 minutes).
