5 most prolific teenagers in Champions League history

#2 Patrick Kluivert (7 goals)

Patrick Kluivert won the competition as a teenage gem at Ajax

Ex-Netherlands international Patrick Kluivert can also not be left out when it comes to the most prolific teenagers in the history of the Champions League. The now 42-year-old is widely remembered for his time at Barcelona, but he started making the headlines even before he joined the Spanish giants.

As a fledgling teenager at Ajax Amsterdam, Kluivert was simply unstoppable. He was a member of the history-making Ajax side that won the Champions League in 1995. The former Barca striker came off the bench in that final and scored the winner as the Dutch side won against AC Milan.

The Dutchman eventually went on to play for AC Milan and Barcelona, but not before he impressively netted seven goals in Champions League whilst still a teenager at Ajax. His record stands till date as the second most prolific run any teenager has ever had in the history of Europe’s flagship club competition.

Unlike others, Kluivert continued from being a teenage genius and developed into one of the best strikers on the planet, before finally hanging his boots to take up another career in coaching.
