Youssoufa Moukoko has the record in the Bundesliga.
By the way, Borussia Dortmund won the historic game at Hertha BSC impressively.
Mainly thanks to a big fan of the mega talent.
At 16 years and one day, Youssoufa Moukoko is the youngest player to ever appear in the Bundesliga.
When Borussia Dortmund wins over Hertha BSC, the striker comes in in the closing stages.
The mega talent is already ennobling his great role model Erling Haaland.
Berlin / Munich - It is done.
The
Bundesliga *
has its new record player who has made
the headlines
away from the
national team for
the past two weeks
.
Youssoufa Moukoko
made his debut in the German upper house of football on the 8th matchday, in the
5-2 victory of Borussia Dortmund * at Hertha BSC
.
Black-yellow is now directly behind
FC Bayern *
.
The game owed the youngster the immense interest also beyond the
federal
borders.
Because
word had got around
the whole
football world
that a moment steeped in history was about to beckon.
It will likely be a record for the ages.
Because
Moukoko
only celebrated
his
16th birthday
the day before the
performance in the Olympic Stadium *
- only a lowering of the minimum age in summer enabled him to make the Bundesliga premiere this year.
đ Todos esperando a que debute y Moukoko tan tranquilo.

Moukoko makes Bundesliga debut: First in the stands next to replacement keeper Hitz
The previous
record holder
, at that time also in Dortmund service, was
Nuri Sahin
.
Born in LĂŒdenscheid, he was in the
starting line-up
on August 6, 2005 at 2-2 at VfL Wolfsburg at the age of 16 and 335 days
.
Moukoko and the football world had to be a little more patient this time.
Initially, his regular seat was a
seat shell in the stands
at the side of substitute keeper Marvin Hitz.
But
coach Lucien Favre
had already made a point in the
DAZN *
interview
before the game
started: âMoukoko received a
present
yesterday
.
We'll see if he'll play today.
Everything is possible. âThe number of
five change options
in the wake of the Corona crisis and the
clear leadership of
his team should have made the decision easier for the Swiss.

Moukoko makes Bundesliga debut: Substitution for Haaland after 85 minutes
So it happened that the BVB coach waved to his youngest protégé shortly before the end, gave him
a few instructions
and then history was made.
With gloves and a long shirt under his jersey, Moukoko waited for the
big moment
.
And when the time came in the 85th minute, he beamed
happily
at the retreating
Erling Haaland
.
The man of the evening, the newly crowned
Golden Boy
, had turned the 0: 1 deficit into a brilliant lead with four goals after the break.
You also like to give way to the very likely upcoming star in the BVB sky.
âHe is currently the
greatest talent in the world
.
A
great career
awaits
him
â, Haaland rejoiced in the
DAZN
interview.
Of course, Moukoko could not directly replace his current role model in his first Bundesliga minutes.
But the teenager was enormously committed and eager to run.
After a few seconds he got the ball from
Jude Bellingham
, who was
only 17 years old
, and the left-footer, who was born in Cameroon's capital Yaoundé, was repeatedly searched for.
Moukoko makes Bundesliga debut: netted 13 times in four U19 games
But of course it was just an
appetizer
for hopefully many more great deeds.
After all, Moukoko comes with a special recommendation to the professionals: In four games for the U19 he scored 13 times.
Now the main thing is
not to let
the
hype about your person get
too close to you.
But
Dortmund's number 18 has
the perfect coach for that.
