About the record.
Bellingham’s most recent Champions League appearance before Wednesday,
came in last season’s quarter-final second leg against Manchester City.
The midfielder opened the scoring for Dortmund in the first half,
before City stormed back with two goals in an eventual 4-2 aggregate win.
By scoring against Besiktas in Dortmund’s 2021-22 Champions League opener,
Bellingham, at 18 years, 78 days, broke Mbappe’s record set in March 2017 with Monaco when he was 18 years, 85 days.
Bellingham became the youngest-ever Englishman to score an away goal in the Champions League.
A record previously held by Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold (19 years 10 days in October 2017 vs Maribor).
