Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz opened the new Champions League season with a bang in Tuesday's 3-1 win over PSV Eindhoven.
The 19-year-old Turkey international unleashed a powerful, curling strike into the top corner of PSV Eindhoven's net to give Juventus an early lead in their return to the Champions League after a year away from the tournament.
The first goal of the rejigged 2024-25 Champions League campaign also saw Yildiz break Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero's record to become the Italian club's youngest scorer in the tournament.
