In case you didn’t know…
Moise Kean scored his first International goal as Italy registered a 2-0 victory over Finland. The 19-year-old sharpshooter became the youngest player to score for Italy since Bruno Nicole in 1958.
The match against Finland was Kean’s first competitive start and he didn’t disappoint as he scored in the 74th minute to kill the match. Roberto Mancini was obviously happy with their first victory in the EURO Qualifiers and heaped praises on the youngster for scoring the goal.
Kean made his Juventus debut back in 2016 and is trying to break into the starting 11 of the Old Lady.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the world by moving to Juventus last summer after winning three straight UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid. He has taken Italian football by storm and scored 24 goals in all competitions for the Bianconeri since his arrival.
The heart of the matter
Kean was obviously overjoyed after scoring his first International goal which made him the youngest goalscorer for Italy.
And the sharpshooter did not forget to thank Cristiano Ronaldo for helping him grow as a player.
Kean said on Ronaldo as quoted by Espn.
What’s next?
Italy will take on Liechtenstein on Wednesday in the current International break before the respective players resume their roles for clubs.
Ronaldo is set to feature for Juventus in their next Serie A game where they host Empoli.
