18-year-old goalkeeper Mile Svilar will remember his first UEFA Champions League games against Manchester United with mixed emotions.
Following the baffling goal he conceded against the Red Devils a couple of weeks ago, the young shot-stopper made history today at Old Trafford for all reasons possible.
First off, he became the youngest goalkeeper in UCL history to save a penalty kick. Svilar stopped Anthony Martial's spot kick after 15 minutes, giving the Portuguese Eagles some hope during their visit to Old Trafford.

Unfortunately for the goalie, he made history for all the wrong reasons after he scored an own goal following Nemanja Matic's shot that hit the upright.
18y 65d - Mile Svilar is also the youngest player to score an own goal in Champions League history. Horror. https://t.co/15UKBNeeto

That own goal surpassed the record set by Nikolay Mihailov as the youngest player to send the ball into the back of his own net in UCL history. Be it as it may, the GK's future seems bright...he just needs to keep his act together.
