Arsenal players broke the record of being the youngest to play in a row through the match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Britain's "Goal Dotcom" reported on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) that "Miles Ruiskelie witnessed his best friend Ethan Nwaneri break the youngest record during the PSG match."
Arsenal lost 0-1 to PSG in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals of the 2024-25 season at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 30th (Korea time).
Arsenal were taken away from the early stage. In the fourth minute of the first half, Dembele received a pass from Khvicha and fired a left-footed shot. It was not a shot that was hit properly, but rather, Raya headed for a course that was difficult to block, leading to the first goal.
Arsenal also fought back but lost their chance. Merino scored a header off Rice's free kick in the second minute of the second half, penetrating the PSG goal. However, the VAR declared Merino's position to be offside and the score was cancelled. Donnarumma barely managed to block Trossar's shot in the 11th minute of the second half. Arsenal lost the match and the game ended.
It was a disappointing defeat for Arsenal, but the game produced the youngest record. According to Golcom, he was the youngest player to play in a UCL semifinal. He was 18 years and 215 days old.
However, 온라인카지노 even before the game was over, Lewis Skelly's record was broken. Nwaneri replaced him in the 45th minute of the second half, which was younger than Lewis Skelly. He participated at the age of 18 years and 39 days, breaking the record of being the youngest person to participate in the UCL semifinals.
"Both of them will face PSG again a week later at the Parc des Princes. It's not enough time to gain more experience, but the fact that they are both playing in big games will give them courage," Golcom said.
Louis Kelly and Nwaneri are big prospects that Arsenal are paying attention to. Louis Kelly is a side defender. Although he debuted this season, he boasts excellent skills and has an edge in the main competition. He is already good enough to score his debut goal in the A-match as a member of the English national soccer team in March.
Nwaneri is an attacking resource. He made his Premier League debut against Brentford in the 2022-23 season. He became the youngest player to play in the Premier League at the age of 15 years and 181 days. He has nine goals and two assists in 35 games this season.
