Moise Kean makes UEFA Champions League history

Juventus forward Moise Kean has become the first player born this millennium to appear in the UEFA Champions League.

The 16-year-old, born in Vercelli to Ivorian parents, replaced Miralem Pjanić with six minutes left, with Juventus being held 1-1 by ten-man Sevilla. Within seconds Leonardo Bonucci had put the visitors ahead, Mario Mandžukić later sealing a 3-1 victory deep into added time.

Mandžukić was the only front-line striker at coach Massimiliano Allegri's disposal, with Marko Pjaca, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuaín all ruled out of Tuesday's game away to a Sevilla side that began the day top of Group H.

The teenager's cameo in southern Spain represented a second landmark in four days for Kean, who had become the first player born this millennium to feature in Serie A in Saturday's 3-0 success over Pescara.

He was born on 28 February 2000, making him 16 years and 267 days old on matchday five. He thus becomes the sixth-youngest player to figure in Europe's premier club competition.
