As a result, he became one of only three players aged 18 to start a knockout stage match. The other players to have achieved this feat were Cesc Fabregas in February 2006 and Max Meyer in March 2014, during his time at FC Schalke 04.
Lewis-Skelly was rock-solid in the Gunners' backline as the Premier League side secured a 2-1 win in Spain, progressing 5-1 on aggregate.
