Christos Mouzakitis at 90+1 was instructed by Ivan Jovanovic to replace Dimitris Kourbelis and thus made his debut with the “blue and white”.
At the same time, the Olympiakos midfielder, with his debut against Finland for the last matchday of the Nations League groups, became the youngest player to play in an official match of the “blue and white”.
The 17-year-old ace, with his statements after the end of the match, expressed his joy for this particular record while thanking his coach for the support and the opportunity he gave him.
What Christos Mouzakitis said:
“It is one of the best moments of my life. It is a year that he competed with the first team of Olympiakos and with the national team, a dream I had since I was very young and I am very happy.
Now the dream is the World Cup, that is the next goal. I wish we pass and go as well as possible. I thank the coach who supported me and used me. I am very happy.”
