The U-19 team of the German club "Cologne" is remembered for a historic event in the UEFA Youth League.
Idman.Biz reports that the match of the German champion youth team against "Inter" completely filled the stands, with 50,000 fans watching the match. This is the highest audience figure ever recorded in the history of the tournament.
In the 1/16 final stage match, the "Cologne" youth put up a worthy resistance against the favored "Inter" for a long time. The first half ended goalless. Although Leonardo Bovio put the Italian team ahead in the 50th minute, Fynn Schten, who also wore the jersey in the Bundesliga, equalized in the 80th minute.
However, the most dramatic moments of the game came in extra time. Dilan Zarate scored in the 90+7th minute, and Robert Kukulis in the 90+9th minute, giving "Inter" a 3:1 victory. This result caused "Cologne" to say goodbye to the tournament early.
It should be noted that "Inter" was also a participant in the previous audience record. In April 2025, 40,368 fans watched the match with the youth team of "Trabzonspor". Cologne surpassed this figure by a significant margin, setting a new record in the history of the UEFA Youth League.
