Explanation

Gerd Müller of West Germany scored two hat-tricks in the 1970 World Cup - against Bulgaria and Peru. This makes him one of the few players to score multiple hat-tricks in a single World Cup tournament. Platini, Scolari, and Beckenbauer did not achieve this.

AI explanation

Gerd Müller famously scored two hat-tricks during the 1970 FIFA World Cup, including one against Bulgaria in the group stage, as part of his ten goals that made him the tournament's top scorer. Beckenbauer was his West German teammate but played as a defender/midfielder and wasn't known for scoring hat-tricks, while Platini and Scolari belong to entirely different World Cup eras.
