Unveiling the Untold Stories of Homegrown Heroes Who Conquered European Cup Finals!
Lars Ricken (Borussia Dortmund vs Juventus, 1997)
Lars Ricken came off the bench in the second half of the 1997 Champions League final and wrapped up a 3-1 win for Borussia Dortmund over Juventus in Berlin.
The 20-year-old midfielder and academy graduate ran onto an Andreas Möller pass and chipped a shot over Angelo Peruzzi from outside the box with his first touch. He had only been on the pitch for 16 seconds and his goal remains the fastest ever scored by a substitute in a European Cup final.
