Century record! 17-year-old teenager becomes youngest ever scorer in UEFA Super Cup history

17-year-old Aston Villa forward Brian Madjo has become the youngest goal scorer in the history of the UEFA Super Cup.

Details: The English prodigy was named in Unai Emery’s starting lineup for the clash against PSG in Salzburg and made his mark with a goal in Europe’s most prestigious preseason showdown. For Madjo—who only made the switch from Metz in January for €12 million—this was his first ever start for the senior Birmingham side.

Madjo’s opportunity came amid an attacking injury crisis at Villa: Tammy Abraham is still recovering from shoulder surgery, while Ollie Watkins had just returned from an Asian tour. Emery has been tracking the young forward—whose physicality draws comparisons to a young Didier Drogba—for some time, and took a gamble by adding the teenager to the squad at the last minute.

Born in London in January 2009 to Cameroonian parents, Madjo grew up in Luxembourg and has already earned three caps for their senior national team. Standing at 193 centimeters with a powerful build, he is regarded as one of the most promising forwards in Europe. Transfermarkt already values the 17-year-old winger at €12 million, and after his historic night in Salzburg, that price tag is only set to rise.
