Teenage sensation Francesco Camarda shared his emotions after his Milan debut at San Siro, thanking the fans and expressing his love.
The young centre forward broke new ground at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday evening, becoming the youngest ever Serie A player after coming on the pitch in the 83rd minute of the clash against Fiorentina aged 15 years and 260 days.
Camarda has shined for the Milan Primavera squad this season, scoring seven goals across 13 games, despite featuring alongside players who are three or four years older. He was promoted to the Under-19 squad after a meeting with Paolo Maldini at the start of June.
Writing on his Instagram page, Camarda reflected on his Milan debut, thanking the supporters and commenting on the emotions of the night.
“What can I say… it was something unique that I will never forget. It’s really true that ‘Since I was little, I fell in love with you, my heart beat, don’t ask me why!’.
“Well today I know why! I discovered that I have a second home and the best thing is that they are all people like me! I love you, thank you!!!!!”
The 15-year-old Camarda is quickly proving to be one of the most exciting young talents in Italian football and will continue his development with the Milan Primavera over the coming months.
The boy needs bigger shorts and socks. He’s still wearing his childhood kit.
Hopefully he is Italy’s next striker of the future.
