#3 Mateo Kovacic - 17 years, 211 days (2011) | Dinamo Zagreb
Mateo Kovacic is not a prolific scorer in the Champions League. In fact, he has netted just four times in over 50 games in the competition for three different clubs.
However, the first time he scored in the competition, Kovacic created history. The 17-year-old's strike in Dinamo Zagreb's 1-7 defeat to Olympique Lyon in the group stages of the 2011-12 Champions League season made him the second-youngest scorer in the competition's history.
The four-time Champions League winner didn't score but provided an assist during Chelsea's triumphant campaign last season.
#2 Peter Ofori-Quaye - 17 years, 190 days | Olympiacos
Peter Ofori-Quaye became the youngest scorer in Champions League history when he netted on his competition debut against Rosenborg in the group stages in 1997-98. Unfortunately, his effort came in a losing cause, as Olympiacos Piraeus suffered a 1-5 humbling against their Norwegian visitors.
Three years later, Ofore-Quaye scored his second Champions League goal. This time, it came in a winning cause, as Olympiacos beat Olympique Lyon 2-1. The Ghana international's third and final strike in the competition came a year later, in Olympiacos' 2-2 draw away at Deportivo La Coruna.
In his sixth and final Champions League campaign in 2002-03, Ofori-Quaye went scoreless.
#1 Ansu Fati - 17 years, 39 days (2019) | Barcelona
Ofore-Quaye remained the youngest scorer in Champions League history for more than two decades before Ansu Fati lowered the mark by more than five months. The La Masia graduate scored Barcelona's winner in a 2-1 win against Inter Milan in the 201 to rewrite the Champions League record books.
Fati looked set for a breakthrough campaign in the competition in 2020-21 when he scored against Ferencvaros at home. That made him the youngest player to score multiple goals in the Champions League. The teenager provided two assists in three games that campaign before enduring a season-ending injury.
He returned to the competition this season, but drew a blank as Barcelona lost 3-0 at Benfica.
