Albanian striker Nedim Bayrami scored the fastest goal in the history of the European Cup when he scored against Italy, the defending champion, 23 seconds into their match on Saturday at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund in the first round of the Group Two competitions for the edition held in Germany.
The previous record was held by Russian Dmitry Kirichenko, when he opened the scoring against Greece after 67 seconds on June 20, 2004 in Portugal during the 2004 European Cup.
