Against the backdrop of Manchester City's success in locking up the qualification, in the early hours of Thursday (3), the UEFA Europa League Group G matches, Manchester City's replacement lineup hosted Xavier. Despite playing at half-strength, the "Blue Moon" won 3-1. One of the most pleasant surprises was the youngest debutant in UEFA history, 17 years old and 346 days old, Luis Ligao, who scored a goal.
Westville, who had no hope of promotion, paradoxically took the initiative and broke the deadlock only 31 minutes into the first half when Rafael Mejia broke through with a corner kick. After the break, City came back with full force, and Lego Luis showed great courage to score the equalizer despite the extremely narrow shooting angle. In addition, Zulian Ivaris and Marquez scored one goal each to help City win 3-1.
City's veteran Kiljuiga is currently recovering from an injury, and manager Diego Guardiola has been having a headache in choosing a right back. With the outstanding performance of Luis Lego, I believe he is expected to be the successor of Kiljuiga.
It is worth mentioning that Zulian Ivaris not only scored a goal, but also gave two assists, with the age of 22 years and 275 days, he became the youngest Argentine player in the past 13 years to create three goals in a single game in the UEFA Europa League. Together with Luis Lego, he has brought a youthful storm to City.
