Many football fans will have had a hard time getting their head around just how young AC Milan's new youngest ever player is.<\/p>\n
The historic Italian side handed a debut to yet another bright prospect fresh out of their academy this weekend. But fans noted something that has blown the minds of many around the world.<\/p>\n
Francesco Camarda came off the bench and managed to get himself 10 minutes of game time in AC Milan's 1-0 home win over Fiorentina in their league match on Saturday. <\/p>\n

The moment the teen stepped onto the pitch, it made him the club's youngest ever player at just 15 years and 260 days, as well as the youngest player to every play in Serie A. Not only was it a monumental day for the teen, it has been highlighted just how young he is in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
One supporter posted on X (formally known as Twitter): "He would've just turned 12 when the Pandemic started LOOOOOOL."<\/p>\n
Which wonderkid's debut excited you the most? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Prior to the 15-year-old making his debut, the club's youngest ever player had been Hachim Mastour, a player who had been thought of extremely highly.<\/p>\n
The skilful midfielder had been a YouTube sensation before bursting onto the scene for AC Milan but failed to make it on the big stage, with him now plying his trade over in Morocco for Union de Touraga after bouncing between lower league Italian clubs for a number of years. <\/p>\n
Hopefully Mastour's career is not a sign to come for the Italian youth international who has broken a number of records during his time at AC Milan's academy.<\/p>\n
