The future looks bright for Barcelona.
Teenage sensations Ansu Fati and Sergino Dest both made history in Saturday’s clash against rivals Real Madrid. The former, who has arguably been the team’s best performer in the early stages of the new season, became the youngest El Clasico scorer in the 21st century when he tapped home an equalizer in the opening half at the Camp Nou.
🔥 17 years, 359 days.

Overall, Fati is the second-youngest player to ever score in the contest; Alfonso Navarro holds the record after finding the net in 1947. Navarro was three days younger than Fati when he set the record.
Dest, meanwhile, became the first American to feature in the 118-year history of the vaunted match.
