Tielemans sleept primeur in de wacht

De tiener van Anderlecht is immers de eerste speler met geboortejaar 1997 die in de Champions League mocht aantreden. Dat ging alvast niet onopgemerkt voorbij op Twitter. Jammer genoeg voor de jongeling verloor Anderlecht gisteren, onterecht, met 0-3 van Olympiakos.

1 - Anderlecht's Youri Tielemans becomes the first player born in 1997 to play in the Champions League. Fledgling.
