The remarkable performance of cousins Toni and Guille Fernández has captured the attention of football fans worldwide. These talented youngsters have recently made history by becoming the youngest-ever scorers for Barcelona Atlètic in a thrilling 3-0 victory against Ourense in the Spanish third division. Toni, the younger of the two cousins, broke the previous record held by Bojan Krkić by scoring in the 41st minute at just 16 years, one month, and 23 days old. Guille followed suit by finding the back of the net on the stroke of half-time, becoming the second youngest scorer for Barça’s reserve side at 16 years, two months, and 21 days.
Catching the Eye of the New Coach
Both Toni and Guille, born in 2008, have already showcased their immense talent and potential, prompting the new Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, to take notice. Guille, known for his attacking prowess in midfield, featured prominently in all three preseason matches for the first team in the United States this summer, facing tough opponents such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. Meanwhile, Toni made impactful appearances off the bench in two out of the three games, proving his capabilities as a forward.
A Legacy of Young Talent
Barcelona Atlètic has a rich history of nurturing young talent, with players like Bojan Krkić, Marc Bernal, and Lionel Messi emerging as some of the youngest scorers for the B team. However, there is some debate surrounding the inclusion of Haruna Babangida in this list. The former Nigeria winger, who played for Barça Atlètic in the 1990s, is believed to have been younger than Guille when he scored his first goal. While there may be differing opinions on the matter, there is no denying the impact that Toni and Guille Fernández have had on the team and their bright future ahead.
