According to Squawka, the Englishman accomplished a significant feat, becoming the first player in Real Madrid's 121-year history to score on his club debut, his UEFA Champions League debut, and his El Clasico debut.

Here are the five youngest goalscorers in El Clásico history.

5. Lionel Messi

Is there even an El Clasico record without the empyrean Argentine?

It was in the encounter between the two teams in March 2007 that Lionel Messi made his mark on the global stage.

A mere 19 years and 259 days old at the time, Messi delivered a stunning performance, scoring all three of Barcelona's goals in a memorable 3-3 draw.

From that pivotal moment, Messi has evolved into arguably the greatest player to have graced the history of El Clasico and, by extension, the history of football.

4. Vinicius Jr.

The Real Madrid player, at 19 years and 233 days old in 2020, scored the opening goal of the match. Despite a fortuitous deflection off Gerard Pique that deceived Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the goal played a crucial role in securing the victory.

The winger became the youngest person to score a goal in Spain’s most famous fixture in the 21st century, replacing Messi, who bagged a hat-trick in 2007, per GOAL.

Since his initial appearance in the Clasico during the 2018-2019 season, as noted by Managing Madrid, the Brazilian winger has transformed into a pivotal figure in the fixture, consistently posing a challenge for Barcelona in every encounter.

3. Francisco Calvet

According to 90Min, in a captivating match that culminated in a 4-3 victory for Real, it was center-back Francisco Calvet who emerged as the standout performer.

Calvet, at the tender age of 19 years and 20 days, scored his team's opening goal, securing the distinction of being the youngest goalscorer in the fixture at that time.

Notably, this record remained unbroken for an impressive 54 years.

2. Roger Garcia

Although left midfielder Roger García's time at Barcelona between 1995 and 1999 didn't quite live up to the anticipated impact, he certainly chose an opportune moment to score his first goal for the club.

On 30th September 1995, at the young age of 18 years and 289 days, Roger secured Barcelona's equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Los Blancos.

Despite his career not reaching the anticipated heights, he retains a place in the annals of El Clasico history as the second-youngest goal scorer in the fixture.

1. Raul Gonzalez

One-time Golden Boy of Spanish football, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, remains the youngest-ever scorer in the history of El Clasico.

The legendary forward was a mere 18 years and 95 days old when he propelled Real Madrid ahead with a goal in the 12th minute of the match, leaving Roger's 31st-minute strike to secure second place on this list.

This remarkable record continues to stand to this day, suggesting that it would undoubtedly take someone extraordinary to emerge and surpass it.
