 Bojan Krkic became the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history when he gave Barcelona a 1-0 win over Shalke 04 in their quarter final, first leg at the Arena AufSchalke.

The goal came in the twelfth minute after Thierry Henry's cross set up the Spaniard, 17, who tapped the ball home from close range.

The youngest Champions League scorer is Peter Ofori-Quaye for Olympiacos in 1997, Krkic claims second place from Cesc Fabregas, of Arsenal, by one day.

  1. looks like Bojan has definitely got ahead of dos santos in the Nou camp's pegging order. exciting talent.

    1. Thanks for the comment Asish, to me Dos Santos is ego and bluster already without much reward, he may not be, but compared to how Bojan has handled himself this season Dos Santos is a headache we don't need.

      The game against Betis, it was the substitution between the two that signalled the wrong intent to the rest of the players... 2-0 up OK sub, lets give Dos Santos a run out, Bojan off... Rijkaard gave out the wrong message and we lost our attacking nerve and our hunger all in one 17 year old player.

      His under 21 record is out of this world and for Barcelona B he was at 43 games 56 goals...

  2. bojanĨe,kude si ti.
