Ruben Neves was pleased to captain Porto to a 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel-Aviv, making Champions League history in the process.
Porto midfielder Ruben Neves was keen to focus on the team's 2-0 victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv after becoming the youngest captain in Champions League history.
At just 18 years and 221 days old, Neves comfortably outstripped the previous record of 20 years and 217 days, set by Rafael van der Vaart when the attacking midfielder skippered Ajax against AC Milan on Sept. 16, 2003.
A team boasting several more experienced players — including former Real Madrid great Iker Casillas, who kept a competition-record 51st clean sheet — overcame Maccabi thanks to goals from Vincent Aboubakar and Yacine Brahimi.
