"Arsenal's 13-year-old midfielder Luis Munoz has become the youngest ever player to feature in the Uefa Youth League. The England Under-15 international, born in December 2011, came off the bench in the 85th minute of Arsenal's 4-2 win over Bayern Munich in the under-19s competition - in a game that was also notable because of two goals from Gunners wonderkid Max Dowman."
"At 13 years 11 months and 15 days, Munoz breaks the record held by Liam Payas - who played for Gibraltar-based Lincoln Red Imps aged 14 years three months and one day in September last year. Munoz, who turns 14 next month, plays as a midfielder but came on as a forward for the last few minutes of the match. Earlier this month, Munoz was part of the Arsenal Under-16 squad that won the Premier League U16 National Finals, beating Aston Villa in the final."
Luis Munoz, a 13-year-old Arsenal midfielder and England Under-15 international, appeared as an 85th-minute substitute in Arsenal's 4-2 under-19s win over Bayern Munich. At 13 years 11 months and 15 days he became the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Youth League, breaking Liam Payas's previous record. Munoz came on as a forward for the final minutes despite ordinarily playing in midfield, and was part of Arsenal's Under-16 squad that recently won the Premier League U16 National Finals. Max Dowman scored twice and Emerson Nwaneri also featured, with Arsenal using inexperienced youngsters as they remain unlikely to reach the knockouts.
