Warren Zaire-Emry will long remember the match lost to Bayern in the 1/8 finals of the tournament’s playoffs.
Warren Zaire-Emry set a Champions League record. This happened due to the injury of one of the leaders of PSG, Kylian Mbappe. Because of this, the French international remained on the bench at the start of the Champions League round of 16 clash between PSG and Bayern.
The head coach of the Parisians, Christophe Galtier, was forced to look for a replacement for the famous striker. Thanks to this, Warren Zaire-Emry appeared on the field from the first minutes.
According to the information Opta, the footballer became the youngest player to start a Champions League play-off match. The Frenchman did it at the age of 16 years and 343 days.
Remember that in the beginning, along with the young player, the legendary Sergio Ramos came out. The Spanish defender was already playing in the Champions League play-offs the day Zaire-Emry was born. On March 8, 2006, Ramos, as part of Real Madrid, entered the match against London Arsenal in the 1/8 finals.
Remember that PSG lost to Bayern in the home match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
