The moment of truth awaits 16-year-old Prescott.

Following a string of injuries to all available Bayern goalkeepers, Vincent Kompany has no choice but to turn to the team's U-16 shot-stopper. If Prescott takes the field, he’ll become the youngest goalkeeper ever to play in the Champions League, as well as the youngest goalkeeper in Bayern Munich's entire history.

Prescott would also enter the top-10 youngest players ever to appear in the Champions League.

However, Kompany has yet to make a final decision, as the medical staff have not released a report on Sven Ulreich, who could still recover in time for tomorrow's clash.

Fortunately for Bayern, they have a comfortable cushion going into the return leg—Munich decimated Atalanta in Italy with a 6-1 victory.

Reminder: Major goalkeeper crisis! Bayern may have to field a 16-year-old debutant against Atalanta due to injuries
