Camarda, a young attacker, entered the San Siro field during the 83rd minute to replace Luka Jovic. At the time, Camarda was only 15 years, 8 months, and 15 days old.
According to Milan's team leader Davide Calabria, the guy possesses remarkable skills and smarts. He recognizes that it's crucial for him to put in more effort than anyone else.
Camarda gained media attention after scoring an impressive bicycle kick goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the UFA Youth League. However, during Milan's recent victory on Saturday, Camarda had minimal involvement due to Milan's predominant focus on defending towards the end of the game.
He surpassed the previous best established by Wisdom Amey, a Bologna defender who played his first Serie A game in May 2022 at just 15 years, nine months, and one day old.
Camarda was promoted from the young squad of Milan due to several players being absent, such as Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao, and Noah Okafor.
At the moment, Milan is holding the third spot in Serie A. They are lagging behind Inter Milan, who is currently the league leaders in points by a difference of five points. On Sunday, Inter Milan will face off against Juventus, who currently holds the second position in the league.
