Real Madrid's Borja Mayoral has drawn level with Roberto Nuñez at the top of the UEFA Youth League's all-time goalscoring list.
The 19-year-old registered his 15th goal, a penalty, in the first half of the Whites' semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain at Nyon's Colovray Sports Centre. The Spain Under-21 forward, who has made five appearances for Madrid's first team this term, is now on eight UEFA Youth League goals for the season, one behind Nuñez, whose Atlético Madrid side lost to Midtjylland on penalties in the play-offs.
Last July, the Madrid-born player was the three-goal leading marksman as Spain won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Greece.
