Arsenal Wonderkid, 13, Makes UEFA History with Youth League Debut

At 13 years old, Luis Munoz broke the previous record held by Liam Payas and played in Arsenal’s 4-2 UEFA Youth League win over Bayern Munich, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Arsenal midfielder Luis Munoz became the UEFA Youth League's youngest-ever player at 13, surpassing Liam Payas, a milestone reported on Nov 26, 2025.
  • Born in December 2011, Luis Munoz was called up to England U15s in September, captained Arsenal U15s, regularly plays for Arsenal U16s and was part of the U16 champions earlier this month.
  • Munoz entered with five minutes to play, replacing Kyran Thompson as Arsenal beat Bayern Munich U19s 4-2 with goals from Max Dowman, Thompson, and Ceadach O'Neill.
  • The selection aimed to give schoolboys experience, as Arsenal included several to gain exposure though progression in the 36-team league phase is unlikely.
  • Context: the UEFA Youth League involves U19 teams from clubs in the Champions League, was founded in 2013, and Barcelona holds three titles, with Arsenal returning to action on December 10 against Club Brugge.
