AC MILAN wonderkid Francesco Camarda made history in Serie A on Saturday night.
At 15 years, eight months and 16 days old, he made his debut for the European giants against Fiorentina.
In doing so, he became the youngest player to feature in Italy’s top flight.
The striker replaced Luka Jovic in the 83rd minute as AC Milan won 1-0 to move within five points of rivals Inter Milan at the top of the table.
But much of the focus was on Camarda – whose academy stats are quite astonishing.
Playing for AC Milan’s age group sides, journalist Luca Bendoni has revealed he scored a breathtaking 247 goals during the 2018/19 campaign.

He then netted 172 the following season, before bagging 64 and 21 in the next two campaigns.

One said: “Superstar at 15🚀🚀🚀🚀.”
