Marc Santos makes La Liga history with Levante debut at age 15
Levante UD defender Marc Santos made history by becoming the youngest player to debut for the club and one of the youngest in La Liga history. At 15 years and 288 days old, the left-back entered the match against Espanyol in the 64th minute, replacing Iván Romero.
With this appearance, Santos becomes the third-youngest player to debut in La Liga, joining Luka Romero and Sansón on the all-time list. He also surpassed the debut age of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who was 15 years and 290 days old during his first appearance.
Levante coach Luís Castro confirmed that Santos is a member of the first team following a strong pre-season. While the match ended in a loss for Levante, the debut marks a significant milestone for the club's academy.
