Francesco Camarda will start tonight in Cagliari-Milan: but this time it won’t be a record

MILANO – This time it won’t be a record, but we’re close. Francesco Camarda will make his debut tonight in Cagliari from the first minute. He will be the second youngest player to start in Milan’s history: he precedes him by a few days Giuseppe Sacchi, goalkeeper who played from the first minute against Fiorentina in October 1942. He has been a Milan player practically forever, and has been a Rossoneri player since 2015 (he was signed at 7 years old by Afforese, the team from his neighborhood in Milan).

However, Camarda has already achieved two very important records. on 25 November 2023, replacing Luka Jovic against Fiorentina, he became the youngest debutant in the history of Serie A playing at 15 years, 8 months and 15 days.

The youngest Italian in the Champions League

Furthermore, coming on in the 75th minute of Milan-Bruges, at 16 years and 226 days, he became the youngest Italian to have played in Champions League. A strong emotion that could also lead to something bigger: Camarda in fact managed to score, much to the emotion of his mother in the stands. But then VAR annulled his goal, taking away another record.

The record holder Moukoko

He didn’t bat Youssoufa Moukokowho with Borussia Dortmund entered his name at the top of the precocious wonders in December 2020, signing his debut at 16 years and 18 days. And he didn’t pass Lamine Yamalon the field at 16 years and 68 days.
