The oldest shooter, Joaquín! Watch how the 41-year-old Betis legend scored in the Europa League

Age is just a number. That saying is certainly true of Joaquin. the 41-year-old captain of Real Betis is still a great player and is still valid for his team. He put on a great show in the Europa League on Thursday.

While in La Liga he comes on the pitch more from the bench, the legendary Joaquín comes into Europa League matches in the starting lineup. And he’s doing very well.

In the first round he helped to win 2-0 against HJK Helsinki and in the second match against Ludogorets he has already made his mark in the statistics. And how!

Luiz Henrique opened the scoring for the home team in the 25th minute, Béticos had to wait only 14 minutes for the next goal. Beloved captain and club icon Joaquín took the ball on the corner of the whitewash and curled it beautifully into the net.

The El Puerto de Santa María native thus became the oldest ever Europa League goalscorer at the age of 41.

The Bulgarian side then reduced the deficit to 1:2, but Canales added Betis’ third goal in the second half. The visitors only corrected the score to the final 3:2 for the home side.

Verdiblancos are now top of Group C with six points after wins against HJK and Ludogorets. AS Rome have three points after their first loss to Ludogorets.
