Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal was beaming after his hat-trick in victory over Champions League opponents FC Copenhagen.
Vidal revealed his wife was expecting to give birth any day now.
"It's the first hat-trick of my career and I'm taking the ball back home. It's a gift for my son, to show him when I played this game. We are expecting a little girl now, so I'm very happy," he told Sky Sport Italia.
There were doubts over whether Vidal would play this game, as he is on a yellow card and risked suspension for the crucial trip to Galatasaray.
"There was some fear, as we knew this was an important game for us, but the Coach told us the important thing was to win, so I could play."
