Borussia Dortmund's Luca Reggiani sets new record to become the 19th teenage goalscorer this season
It’s been a week of records for Borussia Dortmund defender Luca Reggiani who cemented himself as the youngest Italian goalscorer in the Bundesliga and in doing so, became the 19th teenager to score in Germany’s top flight this term.
Reggiani’s goal was unprecedented - never have so many teenagers scored in the division with the previous record set at 18 in 2021/22, which was equalled when Patrice Čović scored Werder Bremen’s fourth in their 4-1 victory over Union Berlin on Matchday 25.
Additionally, the 55 goals scored by teenagers this season is also a record high, with the previous best of 52 strikes in place since 2018/19.
