On Wednesday evening, thwarting the goalkeeper of Lisbon's "Benfica," security guard Ryan Giggs became the oldest footballer to score a goal in the Champions League. At that time, Giggs was 37 years and 289 days old.

The English champion surpassed Italian Filippo Inzaghi, who, in early November 2010, scored a goal against Madrid's "Real" at the age of 37 years and 86 days.

Moreover, Giggs has already stood out in sixteen different seasons of the Champions League, surpassing the Spaniard Raul with whom he had matched the result of 15 seasons until then.
