Club Brugge correct (5). Three left.

6 and 5 appearances for the remaining two. I don't think either has even been out of the group stage.

Pauleta got one against Poland in 2002.

None for Suker, but he did wear a magnificent Croatia kit.
Muller got one vs portugal in the last world cup. There were three in that tournament.
I reckon this might actually go back to 1986, in which case Lineker.
Linekar not in the most recent 10 but did indeed score a hat-trick then.

None of these.
As above Batistuta has two, but I'll count him as one player which means there are 3 players left.
Two came in 1990, Italy and the other came in 1986, Mexico. (There were actually four hat-tricks scorers in the latter; Gary Linekar being one of them.)

1990 is probably some Soviet of whom I've never heard. Actually didn't the Yugos have a big win at that one? Mijatovic?

- Spanish right winger who has managed in Spain (where he is currently), Greece and France.

It appears Seaman and Schmeichel never saved a premier league penalty. They faced 27 between them. Thats hard to beleive. Someone prove me wrong.
Bathez and lehmann both saved 2 each.
Schmeichel looks right. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/peter-schmeichel/elfmeterstatistik/spieler/3465 What a myth he was then. He did save the one from Bergkamp in the Cup which some say was the turning point of the treble season, so nobody tweet Kasper that he's better than his dad yet.
Seaman also crap. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-seaman/elfmeterstatistik/spieler/3141
Schmeichel saved one from Sheringham at some point, I recall it vividly.
After doing some search, it appears I might be making that up. I can only find reference to the penalty he missed AGAINST Spurs for United.

As Gomes has already been named, I will point out that there's articles out there about how his penalty saving record in the Premier League was almost as good as Seaman (who had the best record in the league) so it can't be true that he never saved one.

The Fowler one was in 1997 and the records seem to indicate he had saved 7 penalties in the premier league to set the record for best save percentage. It's strange that I can't find any actual statistics (outside of these random articles) but him never saving one in the PL can't be true.

24th march 1997 was when he saved the Fowler one when Fowler deliberately hit it straight at him because he wasn't fouled. Even in those circumstances it's a penalty save.
It doesn't particularly matter but I seem to recall during his career Seaman was known to be good st saving penalties so I'm more inclined to believe the articles that say he saved more than anyone else (percentage wise).

Sociedad 2002-03: Kovacevic, Nihat and whoever the hell was next highest, which, this being Sociedad in the 2000s, I will have a guess at being Xabi Alonso.
Higuain, Mertens, Hamsik (Napoli)
Higuain, Dybala, Mandzukic (Juventus)
Totti, Cassano, Batistuta (Roma)

Few missing players for real madrid have been missd
Sociedad 2002-03: Kovacevic, Nihat and whoever the hell was next highest, which, this being Sociedad in the 2000s, I will have a guess at being Xabi Alonso.

Juventus are not on the list at all.

Messi, Sanchez, Pedro
Messi, Suarez, Neymar
Ronaldo (Brazil), Raul, Zidane
Yorke, Cole, Solskjaer
van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Yorke

Raul is on the list, but surprisingly, nothing to do with real madrid.

Three real madrid combinations left. Nothing to do with the zidane days.
