5 La Liga records that neither Messi or Ronaldo will ever break

#1 Fastest hat-trick

Valencia v Espanyol - La Liga
Spanish football legend, David Villa

Spain's top goalscorer David Villa holds the record for the fastest hat-trick in La Liga history. In 2005/06 season, he scored a hat-trick in 4 minutes and 47 seconds when playing for Valencia in a game against Athletic Bilbao. He found the back of the net in the 82nd, 84th and 87th minute of the game.

Given the time players take to celebrate these days, it is near impossible for anyone to beat David Villa's record. Cristiano Ronaldo once came close to that when he fired a stunning 8-minute hat-trick against Granada in 2015.

It was the only occasion that either Messi or Ronaldo came close. Atletico Madrid's Kevin Gameiro failed to beat that record by just 4 seconds when he scored the second-fastest hat-trick in LaLiga history in a 4-1 win over Sporting Gijon in 2017.
