Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham breaks Champions League record of Chelsea's Kovacic

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham has made history on Tuesday night as he is the youngest player ever to start in ten Champions League matches.

He was in the starting lineup for the tenth time in the Champions League and so became the youngest ever to have achieved the historic feat.

Bellingham is the new holder of the record at 18 years and 91 days.

He thus beats Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who reached ten matches from the start at the age of 18 years and 212 days in the Dinamo Zagreb jersey.
