Gavi beats Ansu Fati record to become Spain’s youngest ever goalscorer

Barcelona midfielder Gavi wrote his name into the history books on Sunday when he netted his first international goal against Czech Republic in the Nations League.

The 17-year-old midfielder struck an equalizer for the visitors deep into first-half stoppage time to become Spain’s youngest ever goalscorer.

Interestingly, Gavi takes the record of Barcelona team-mate Ansu Fati.

1st - Aged 17 years and 304 days, Gavi has become the youngest player to score for @SeFutbol in a competitive game, overpassing Ansu Fati, who scored with 17 years and 311 days against Ukraine in September 2020, also in UEFA Nations League.
