Bayern Munich cruised to a 2-0 win over Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, and the opening goal was historic.
David Alaba needed just 25 seconds to put one past Gigi Buffon, who until that moment had gone 490 minutes without conceding a goal in the Champions League. It was the second-fastest goal in the knockout stages ever!
The fastest goal? Roy Makaay, also for Bayern, who scored in just 10 seconds against Real Madrid in 2007.
Why has Barcelona been so good? A lot of it has to do with its soccer academy, La Masia. The school has elevated notable talents into the senior side for a while now (Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Pique all went there just to name a few) and it looks like the current youth teams are full of promise as usual!
It took literally just 5 seconds for this little Barca munchkin to score in a recent Under-9 game!!
See ya in 10 years, kid!
