The Anfield boy has become a man. Having just come of age, Stefan Bajcetic (Vigo, 2004) continues to write golden pages in the North West of England. On a special date for the birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles on Boxing Day, the Spaniard scored his first goal for Liverpool and as a professional.

With all the cheek in the world, the 18-year-old midfielder silenced Villa Park to seal the Reds' win at Birmingham and take Jurgen Klopp's side closer to the European places. Just two minutes after coming on for Jordan Henderson, Bajcetic picked up a dead ball in the heart of the box, cut inside Olsen and left-footed the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-3 to Aston Villa.

Thus, the 18-year-old from Vigo (18 years and 65 days) became the second youngest Spanish goalscorer in the history of the Premier League, after Cesc Fabregas with Arsenal (17 and 113). Undoubtedly, a dream season for Bajcetic, who continues to make history at Liverpool. The player from Vigo left Celta Vigo's youth academy at the end of 2020 and, in just two years, the 'red' promise is already a reality.

On 27 August against Bournemouth, he made his Premier League debut at the age of 17, becoming the youngest non-British player to make his first-team debut for Pool in domestic competition. And a month later, he also made his European debut in the Champions League against Ajax.

"The best moment of my life, something I have dreamed of since I started playing football, all the hard work pays off with moments like this," wrote Bajcetic, who is making the most of the opportunities he is being offered by Jürgen Klopp. The German coach's weakness for the '43′ is absolute and the Vigo native is one of the young talents of the 'red' youth called to mark an era at Anfield. The first stone has already been laid.
