Former Black Stars forward Peter Ofori Quaye Uefa Champions League record on threat

Former Black stars striker Peter Ofori-Quaye Uefa Champions League record on threat this season. He holds the record as youngest scorer in the history of the Uefa Champions League but could lose it to Barcelona teenage sensation Ansu Fati this season

Peter Ofori-Quaye holds the record when he found the net aged 17 years and 195 days for Olympiacos against Rosenborg in October 1997

The forward has held onto the record since but the fast emerging 16-year-old sensational, Ansu Fati is on the verge of breaking the record.
