Ajax already have the youngest squad in CL, but due to injuries the 5 of Jody Lukoki (19), Dico Koppers (19), Lesley de Sa (18), Ruben Ligeon (19) and debutant Davy Klaassen (18) have made the trip to Lyon making our 1st team even younger.
Davy Klaassen won last season's Best Academy talent award.
Good goal by Mateo Kovacic:

Jesus...Callejon and Cuenca look really, really promising for both Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. I think they're both Spanish too. This really is a great period for Spanish football.
Watched the Newcastle game tonight and I was very impressed by their young Slovenian midfielder Haris Vuckic, who is only 19.
Good size,strong,nice change of pace and a thunderous shot.
Whoever is in charge of their scouting is doing a good job,maybe we should find out who it is and get him working for us.
Fulham manager Martin Jol believes Kerim Frei has the potential to be as good as Gareth Bale.
Frei has forced his way into the first team reckoning at Craven Cottage in recent weeks and Jol reckons the 18-year-old can be compared to the Welsh winger, who he managed while in charge at White Hart Lane.
“I think Frei could become a great player,” he said.
“Bale has a bit more experience but I had Bale when he was as young as Frei and Bale is a great player. I think Frei could be one.
“He is different — he is right-foot, Bale is left-footed. But he has got confidence and he is not like other young players — who play well, play bad, play well — he is always the same.
“That is great to watch and he has got real pace.”
Frei has started the Whites’ last two matches and could be named in the starting XI for tonight’s visit of Arsenal.
