George Ilenikhena has set a new record in the UEFA Champions League for Monaco after helping them club to a 2-1 win against Barcelona on Thursday night.
Ilenikhena, who was introduced in the 59th minute, scored the winner in the 71st minute for Monaco.
The goal means at 18 years he is now the youngest goalscorer for Monaco in the Champions League.
Barcelona had to play most parts of the game with 10 players after Eric Garcia was shown a straight red card on 10 minutes.
Monaco then took the lead in the 16th minute thanks to Maghnes Akliouche but Lamine Yamal equalised for Barcelona in the 28th minute.
Then in the 71st minute Ilenikhena got the winning goal for the French Ligue 1 giants.

Ilenikhena is far better than most other Super Eagles players. He should be called up soon. Heaven bless him and all deserving Super Eagles players.
Wow! This conclusion is very hasty. Wait until he’s invited!
Nigeria will not invite him until France starts showing interest then it would be too late!Same shit different days!
Hey asshole, you have come out of wilderness again?
French coach, Didier Deschamps was live in the stadium to monitor players. So Eguavoen already got competition.
Dem dey talk am 2 times?
That’s the new Prince of Monaco right there.
Ilenikhena is a handful at such a young age.
Nigeria pipo, check him out, b4 it is too late!
The NFF should be proactive and move very fast for George Ilenikhena, or risk loosing him to France. He is better than most of the current Super Eagles players.
The NFF should better move quickly for this fantastic player called George Ilenikhena and give him a Super Eagles invite, or risk loosing him soon to France. A word is enough for the wise.
NFF will not act fast as expected by fans because it’s not a priority to them being just a player that will not fetch them any penny,if it’s a largesse now you will see or hear them scrambling for it.
I believe Nigeria would get It right one day when a reputable ex SE player will oversee the affairs of Nigeria football credibly
You guys are funny sha. Which NFF are you guys expecting to act fast? The ones that can’t hire a coach for over six months?
Learnt he has played for the French U16 before. He might need to do.change of association. IMHO
We don’t need ex players to run football in Nigeria we need people that are business minded not politically minded .
Allow these young guys from lagos , Benin , Imo they will turn around Nigeria football the way music has been turned around that has made Nigeria as the hub of music in the world. Let federal government departs from our football like they have distanced themselves from music and you will see England come to learn soccer from Nigeria
NFF ONIGBESE wake up. Eyes open.
That’s Osimhen’s strike partner right there.
Snooze, and OTILO. E ma gora yin ooo. Let’s get this guy asap.
No be say we dey hype the guy unnecessarily. At such a young age, he’s really good already. And he can only get better.
