Scorer of another hat-trick against Reims last weekend, the Danish striker has now scored ten goals in seven Ligue 1 matches, a rare level of performance that has allowed him to break many records. Explanations.
He has just come from scoring against Reims his third hat trick in the last three league matches played at home. It was a performance that had not been seen since Thadée Cisowski with Racing in… 1956! It was thus a crazy feat achieved by Mika Biereth. It was one record among many others that we invite you to discover, thanks to the help of our partner Opta. 📊
After arriving from Sturm Graz, the Danish striker has been walking on water and has already reached the ten-goal mark, having also scored once against Rennes. He is already the first player signed in the winter transfer window to reach this threshold in a Ligue 1 season in the 21st century and is only four goals away from the all-time record held by Nantes player Hugo Alberto Curioni in… 1973-1974.
But what is even more remarkable is that he set this mark in just seven league games played, a performance that has not been seen in the last 75 years! The number 14 is ahead of very big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had achieved this in nine games, Carlos Bianchi (9) or Just Fontaine (10), details Opta.
The former Gunner is also well ahead of the four top Monaco scorers in history, like Wissam Ben Yedder who waited until his 13th match to reach the threshold. As for Lucien Cossou, Radamel Falcao or Delio Onnis, they had to play 14 and 18 matches respectively.
Another notable fact since his arrival, Mika has scored all ten of his goals at home. It’s quite simple, only Ousmane Dembélé has managed to keep up this pace in Ligue 1 with this same total, except that he has participated in… seven more matches. And if we look at the Big 5 leagues, he is only surpassed by Harry Kane (14), Moise Kean (11) and Ante Budimir (11) and finds himself at the foot of the podium with only four matches under his belt, per Opta.
Four games to record three hat-tricks, therefore, which makes the Dane the one who has achieved the most this season, tied with the Bayern striker. Finally, let’s dive into the past to see that this performance by Mika is also historic since over the last ten years, only Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Kylian Mbappé and Luis Suarez have scored three hat tricks in the same season. Names that make your head spin!
The Stade Louis-II is therefore his happy hunting ground and that’s something good — there are four games left to play at home for the opportunity to climb even further in the history books. And not the least since AS Monaco will face Nice, Marseille, Strasbourg and Lyon, all teams currently in the top 7 of Ligue 1. This will surely be enough to give him extra motivation at the idea of finding the net during the final sprint to help the Club finish on the podium. Daghe Mika! 👏
