Alessandro Del Piero, who would go on to become a Juventus icon, set the record as the club's youngest Champions League goalscorer.
Fast forward 30 years and another talented youngster has emerged to claim that title. Kenan Yıldız, wearing the same number as Del Piero did, under new boss Thiago Motta, not only scored but also mimicked the Italian legend's iconic celebration.
The symmetry between these two moments, separated by three decades, highlights the enduring allure of football's ability to create parallels across time.
The young striker's ascent has been nothing short of meteoric. Yıldız has now achieved an impressive feat:
Scored in his first ever Serie A start
Scored in his first ever Coppa Italia start
Scored in his first ever Champions League start
This consistency across all major competitions speaks volumes about Yıldız's potential and his ability to perform on the big stage.
Juventus Dominates
PSV Yıldız's record-breaking goal came as part of a commanding Juventus performance against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.
The Italian giants secured a convincing 3-1 victory in their Champions League clash on Tuesday night in Turin.
The scoring opened with Yıldız's historic strike, followed by a goal from American midfielder Weston McKennie before halftime.
Nicolas Gonzalez added a third in the second half to put the game beyond doubt. PSV managed a late consolation through Ismael Saibari, but it was too little, too late for the Dutch club.
As Juventus celebrates this win and the emergence of a potential new star, fans will be eager to see how Yıldız develops. If his start is anything to go by, the young Turk could be set to create many more memorable moments in the black and white stripes of Juventus.
