Ansu Fati enjoyed a remarkable 2019-20 season, breaking into Barcelona‘s first team as a 16-year-old before becoming the youngest goalscorer in Champions League history a little over a month after turning 17.
Unfortunately, his career has been blighted by injuries since showing incredible promise during the early months of his time in Barcelona’s senior team.
When making his mark in the Champions League, he needed roughly a minute and a half to stamp his authority on proceedings after coming off the bench in San Siro against Inter back in December 2019. He played a give-and-go on the edge of the box before slamming into the bottom-left corner from 20 yards.
In doing so, he secured Barcelona a 2-1 win and broke a record that stood for 22 years.

Considering his remarkable breakthrough season in 2023-24, it was pretty surprising that Lamine Yamal didn’t manage to break the record for the youngest Champions League goalscorer.
Alas, he missed the boat but didn’t need long to open his account in 2024-25, netting something of a trademark goal on Matchday 1 away to Monaco.
After bringing down a lofted pass, he cut inside from the right and sent a precise left-footed strike into the bottom-right corner from 20 yards.
It made him the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history, behind only his Barcelona teammate Fati, who was watching on from the bench.
Dastan Satpaev: 17 years, 106 days oldKairat vs FC København – 26 November 2025
With his goal on Matchday 5 of the 2025-26 season, Dastan Satpaev (17y 106d) became the third-youngest goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history and the first player from Kazakhstan to net in the competition (excl. own goals) – the 114th different nation to produce a goalscorer in the competition.
His goal was in vain, however, as Kairat went down 3-2 to Danish side FC København.
Viktor Dadason: 17 years, 113 days oldFC København vs Borussia Dortmund – 21 October 2025
Icelandic striker Viktor Dadason scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 21 October 2025 in a 4-2 home defeat against Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 4 of the 2025-26 competition.
At the time of his goal, he was the third youngest to score in the competition, but only a matchday later he was pushed down into fourth by Kazakh teenager Dastan Satpaev.
George Ilenikhena: 17 years, 119 days oldRoyal Antwerp vs Barcelona – 13 December 2023
Scoring a winner against Barcelona in added time is something most footballers can only dream of, but it became a reality for 17-year-old George Ilenikhena in December 2023.
It secured a famous win for Antwerp, with his strike coming just 86 seconds after another 17-year-old, Marc Guiu, thought he’d rescued a point for the Spanish giants.
Ilenikhena – who was born in Lagos, Nigeria but has played youth football for the French national teams – became the youngest French player to score in the UCL, overtaking PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery, who had only set a new record half an hour prior to Ilenikhena’s strike.
It was a memorable night for Antwerp’s youngsters. While he didn’t make this list, Arthur Vermeeren also became the youngest Belgian player to score a goal in the UEFA Champions League (18y 309d) when he netted the first goal of the match.
