#2 Ajax's stars show they're ready for the next step
The exciting Dutch outfit is playing football reminiscent of the time when the man after whom their stadium is named was in charge of affairs around the club. They fear absolutely no one and have shown time and time again this year that they are capable of beating the very best of sides. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Juventus can all vouch for that, but behind this spectacular turn of events is a crux of young players who are stamping their worth on the biggest stage of them all.

Matthis De Ligt, the 19-year-old Captain, along with Donny Van de Beek, Frenkie De Jong, David Neres, Andre Onana, and Hakim Ziyech are the young architects crucial to the glorious road that Ajax paved for themselves in their stupendous Champions League run on.
They were supported by the old heads of Dusan Tadic and Lasse Schone, but these young men have shown this season that they are more than ready to play a significant role in any of Europe's elite clubs. It's just a matter of time now that this beautiful side is torn apart as top bidders from around the World would want to scoop these gems up before their price goes up further.
