Champions League youngest goalscorers\n\n

Ansu Fati holds the record as the UEFA Champions League’s youngest goalscorer. The Spain forward was just 40 days past his 17th birthday when he hit the\u00a0Matchday 6 winner for Barcelona at Inter\u00a0in the 2019\/20 group stage. It surpassed the previous best by 154 days, set by Peter Ofori-Quaye in 1997 \u2013 five years before the Blaugrana forward was even born.\n

On Matchday 1 in 2024\/25 Lamine Yamal became the second-youngest player to score in the competition, the teenager finding the net with a fine strike\u00a0for Barcelona in their defeat at Monaco. The rest of the top ten contains several very recognisable names, including Mateo Kova\u010di\u0107 and Cesc F\u00e0bregas.\n

\n\n

Jude Bellingham’s first Champions League goal, for\u00a0Dortmund against Manchester City in the quarter-finals, makes him the third-youngest scorer in the knockout stages of the competition and came shortly after another 17-year-old, Jamal Musiala, had scored for\u00a0Bayern at Lazio in the last 16. Bellingham was younger, but it is another Barcelona player who holds the record for youngest knockout scorer: Bojan Krki\u0107 against\u00a0Schalke in 2008.\n
