Champions League youngest goalscorers: Ansu Fati, Kovačić, Fàbregas, Bellingham

Who is the UEFA Champions League's youngest scorer? Who is the youngest to register in the knockouts?

Youngest Champions League goalscorers

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 Matchday 6 winner for Barcelona at Inter in the 2019/20 group stage. It surpassed the previous best by 154 days, set by Peter Ofori-Quaye in 1997 – five years before the Blaugrana forward was even born.

On Matchday 2 in 2022/23, Antonio Nusa became the second youngest player to find the net in the competition, the teenager coming off the bench to score Club Brugge's final goal in a remarkable 4-0 victory at Porto. The rest of the top ten contains several very recognisable names, including Mateo Kovačić, Cesc Fàbregas and Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham's first Champions League goal came for Dortmund against Manchester City in the quarter-finals, a few weeks after another 17-year-old, Jamal Musiala, had scored for Bayern at Lazio in the last 16. Bellingham was younger, but it is another Barcelona player who holds the record for youngest knockout scorer: Bojan Krkić against Schalke in 2008.
