Ansu Fati has become the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Champions League.
The Barcelona forward hit a late winner against Inter on Tuesday as the Serie A side were knocked out of the tournament.
Fati, aged 17 years and 40 days, beat Samir Handanovic with a precise drive to grab yet another record.
He was already the youngest LaLiga goalscorer for Barca and the club's youngest player to feature in the Champions League.

When Fati signs full-time professional terms the release clause will rise again, standing at a whopping €400m.
