As previously reported, yesterday, Ukrainian forward Artem Stepanov made his debut for Bayer Leverkusen's first team. His debut took place during the match against Austrian Salzburg (5:0) in the Champions League.
As a result, Stepanov became the youngest Ukrainian in the history of the Champions League. He debuted in this tournament at the age of 17 years, 3 months, and 16 days. Thus, the forward broke Dmitry Chigrinski's record, who first played in the Champions League at the age of 18 years and 1 month.
