The Champions League is back. The unmistakable theme will soon be gracing our televisions once again, and bringing with it the best teams that Europe has to offer.
A player’s career can be defined from moments in Europe’s elite competition, be it Neymar inspiring Barcelona’s comeback over PSG, or Didier Drogba scoring the winning penalty against Bayern Munich.
Everyone knows that seasoned campaigners such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero will all be hoping to similarly inspire their clubs to glory this season, after missing out last time around.
But there are plenty of younger talents, alongside the veterans, who are looking to make their mark on the competition and propel themselves to the forefront of the game.
Here is our list of youngsters you should be watching closely.
