    Many of this kids played against your well known Celtic B (2-1) and Chelsea B (3-0) in the U21 Premier League Internacional Cup still in dispute. And regularly play for Benfica B in portuguese 2nd division. Renato Sanches, João Carvalho, Diogo Gonçalves, Hildeberto... This gives them a competitive edge over most players their age (essential to their development; no point in playing in u-18 portuguese leagues where they will win every game by a 10 goals margin). The one to watch out of this generation probably is Renato Sanches (18y) but I can see 4 or 5 of them in the first team in a short period.

    When a player can do this against players 3y older, being "demoted" and playing in the Youth League against kids his age is a walk in the park. An Europa League youth cup probably would be a nice plus. All this competitive games at an young age add to their development.

    Renato Sanches looks like some player, powerful and skillful.

    Man City v Sevilla seems to be the game of the night. Sevilla had a poor start to La Liga but I don't know how good they are now.

    Paul Scholes looks uncomfortable sitting beside the best in the business :smiley-laughing002:

    If P.S.G. win this, I think it'l show a contention for potentially winning the tournament.

    I know its only the group stages but they have to continuously beat the big guys and I honestly think this year might be it.

    Wait and see Ronaldo pump them silly. :56:
