How old was Patrick Kluivert when he set the previous record as the youngest UEFA Super Cup scorer?
Answer
19 years, 220 days
Patrick Kluivert was 19 years and 220 days old when he set the previous record as the youngest UEFA Super Cup scorer.
Kluivert held the record until Aston Villa forward Brian Madjo scored in the 2026 final. Madjo was 17 years and 212 days old, making him the youngest scorer in the competition by a substantial margin.
The earlier record belonged to Kluivert because he scored for Ajax in the 1995 UEFA Super Cup. Ajax faced Real Zaragoza in that edition, and Kluivert’s age remained the benchmark for young scorers for more than three decades.
This record concerns age at the time of scoring, not age at a player’s Super Cup debut or the youngest player to start a final. Those are separate statistical categories and can produce different answers.
