The goal made it the fifth time in Champions League history that a player scored a hat trick in the semifinals.
Moura scored his first two goals in less than a four minute span.
His first goal came as he made a great one-touch pass to Dele Alli from midfield. Alli raced toward goal and Moura followed the play forward. Alli made a cut to his left and Moura jumped in and took one touch through past two defenders before Andre Onana in the 55th minute.
