30-year-old Brazilian striker Luiz Adriano began his career in 2006 with Internacional before joining Shakhtar Donetsk a year later in Ukraine. After spending seven seasons with the club winning numerous trophies, the Brazilian forward opted to join AC Milan in 2015, in a move that lasted for two years, before signing for Spartak Moscow in 2017.

In 2014, during his time with Shakhtar, Adriano achieved a great feat, netting a hat-trick against Belarusian side Bate Borisov in 12 mins. It is the fourth fastest ever hat-trick recorded in Champions League history.

The striker went on to score five in the group stage game that ended 7-0 to the away side, compounding a massive home defeat for the Belarusian side. The Brazilian has made four appearances for his national side and will have to produce some spellbinding performances to get in contention for a spot in the national team for the 2018 WC.
