Warren Zaire-Emery scored his first goal for PSG in added time yesterday against French Ligue 1 side Montpellier. A first of its kind at any stage is always special. But Warren's goal is a little more important. Warren scored the goal as PSG's youngest footballer.

Warren was 16 years and 330 days old when he scored in PSG's 3-1 win last night. No one else has been able to put the ball in the net for PSG at a younger age. The previous record for PSG was held by Bartholomew Agbeche. who scored in November 2001 at the age of 17 years and 55 days. 

Lionel Messi joined Warren in celebration after the goal. But when the Argentine superstar started his career, this teenager was not even born. He also commented that the moment of goal celebration with Messi at the end of the match was incredible. Warren was born on March 8, 2006. In 2014, he joined PSG's age group. And he made his debut for PSG in August last year. 

The French midfielder also claimed a record in the club's jersey that day. Warren also became the youngest player to debut for the club. He also made his Champions League debut on October 25 of the same year with a match against Maccabi Haifa. Although the match was played, no goals were scored. Finally the goal came in the match against Mpelei. 

After scoring his record goal in the league, Warren said, 'I scored my first goal in the league and celebrated with Messi. I can't believe it.' Messi was also nearby when Warren scored. "I saw Messi, but I knew the right thing to do was to take the shot," Warren said of scoring himself without passing him. I took the chance and it paid off.' 

Warren's goal was a record but he didn't know it when he scored, 'I didn't know. It's great. I scored my first goal and I'm happy.'
