Scoring at least one goal in Europe's five big leagues is a feat that is within the reach of very few players. Jovetic managed it for Hertha on his Bundesliga debut, making him just the second player in history to do so, behind Romanian Raducioiu.

Steven Jovetic has started life at Hertha with a bang. The Montenegrin scored on his Bundesliga debut against Koln, which his new side ended up losing 3-1.

A goal with which the ex-Monaco striker managed to equal the spectacular record that, until now, only one player in the history of the game has ever achieved - Florin Raducioiu. The ex-Romania international was able to score at least one goal in Europe's five biggest leagues - the Spanish League, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

A record that Jovetic was able to equal. According to data from BeSoccer Pro, the Hertha forward has become the second player in history to achieve such a feat, and the only one still playing.

Jovetic found the back of the net in Serie A during his spells with Fiorentina and Inter; in the Premier League for Man City; in the Spanish League with Sevilla; in Ligue 1 for Monaco; before scoring the aforementioned goal in his first Bundesliga appearance for Hertha, a team for which he has only played a few matches after arriving on a free until 2023.
