Sixteen-year-old Filip Pavić became the youngest Champions League player in Bayern Munich history during the club’s dominant 4-1 victory over Atalanta at the Allianz Arena.
Filip Pavić made history Wednesday night as Bayern Munich’s youngest-ever Champions League debutant during a 4-1 dismantling of Atalanta.
Born in 2010, the 16-year-old entered the fray as Vincent Kompany’s side secured their quarter-final spot.
Harry Kane netted twice, while Lennart Karl and Luis Díaz added goals to ensure a 5-2 aggregate win, further cementing Bayern’s status as elite European contenders this season.
Coach Vincent Kompany hailed the academy product’s integration, noting the substitute appearance was a reward for consistent training levels.
After the final whistle, the manager described his decision to grant the youngster his first minutes for the senior team as “deserved.”
The Bavarians now look ahead to a blockbuster final-eight tie against Real Madrid, carrying immense momentum from this record-breaking night in Munich.
