In the 21st minute, Yildiz delivered a stunning strike from a diagonal angle, finding the net with a shot that met the posts' intersection. This goal marked the first of the season's Champions League campaign.

At just 19, Yildiz has surpassed Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero (20 years, 308 days) to become the youngest player in the club's history to score in the Champions League.
