Nigerian forward George Ilenikhena has etched his name into UEFA Champions League history after becoming the youngest African player to make 15 appearances in the competition.
The 19-year-old surpassed the long-standing record held by former Super Eagles star Nwankwo Kanu. UEFA confirmed that Ilenikhena reached the milestone at 19 years and 157 days, bettering Kanu's previous mark of 19 years and 260 days.
Ilenikhena is now among the youngest players overall to hit the 15-appearance mark in Europe's elite club competition.
