Teenage starlet Marc Guiu made Champions League history for Chelsea in their match against Ajax on Wednesday night – only to see his record broken within the same half.
The 19-year-old has struggled to break into Enzo Maresca‘s side after his emergency return from a loan spell on Sunderland at the start of the season, but is increasingly getting minutes as the 2025-26 campaign continues.
Handed his first Champions League start of the season, the striker was keen to impress.
And within 20 minutes, Guiu had done so, opening the scoring for the hosts to hand them the home lead.
At 19 years and 29 days, the La Masia graduate became the club’s youngest ever Champions League goalscorer.
But moments before the half-time whistle, Brazilian prodigal Estevao was handed a penalty opportunity by Enzo Fernandez – who had already scored from the spot on a wet night in west London.
