Quality does not come with age for Marcel Jastrzebski

He might only be 19, but tonight Marcel Jastrzebski proved that age does not mean anything in the Champions League. Plock’s goalkeeper stopped 11 shots in the first half of the game, including one seven-meter. And while the Polish side is usually strong defensively, this performance caused even more trouble for Magdeburg. The cherry on the top of this performance was Jastrzebski’s saves in the final two minutes, which gave Plock their first win since round 3.
