He was making his Champions League debut last night, against Genk, and he blew them away with a first half hat-trick, opening the scoring after just two minutes.
This was the fourth hat-trick he has scored this season. He has 11 goals in seven Bundesliga games, and scored an astounding nine goals in one game in a recent international youth game.
The 19-year-old looks the real deal.
