The Talent Makes History – Youngest Goal Scorer for Juventus

He is seen as one of football's most talented teenagers. Kenan Yildiz showed once again why in Juventus' Champions League opener at home against PSV Eindhoven. With a dream goal, he ensured that he became the club's youngest goalscorer in the tournament.

Yildiz, 19 years and 136 days, advanced into the plan from his left starting position. The shot in the step drilled through the far post and behind Joel Drommel. There and then, Alessandro Del Piero lost his status as the youngest to score for the "Old Lady" in CL contexts.

There and then, the fairly broad perception was also strengthened that Yildiz is one of Europe's most exciting young players.

The goal was also the first in the new Champions League tournament format. In honor of the evening, Yildiz wore the same jersey number (10) as the legend Del Piero.

The Turkish national team star, born in Germany, spent his football upbringing in Bayern München. But when the contract expired in 2022, the German giant club did not think they could afford the super talent.

Juventus won the tug-of-war – and the 19-year-old is steadily paying off Turin's investment.

Six minutes later, in the 28th minute, Weston McKennie increased the score to 2–0. Nicolás González added to the score in the beginning of the second half, making it 3–0 in the one-sided settlement in Turin.

In stoppage time, Ismael Saibari reduced the score for PSV.

Jonas Rouhi, the 20-year-old Swedish U21 national team defender, followed the 3–1 victory from Juventus' substitute bench.

At the same time, Aston Villa also made a strong start. Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey ensured that Villa had 2–0 at halftime against Young Boys in Bern. Amadou Onana ensured the victory became 3–0.
