Real Madrid have won the UEFA Youth League for the first time since this continental competition was launched in 2013, defeating Benfica 3-2 in the final of the 2019/20 edition. With club legend Raul Gonzalez in the dugout, Real Madrid shone during the final stages in Nyon, Switzerland, and can now claim to have the best Under-19s side in Europe.

Much of the focus after this victory was on Raul and on what this means for his burgeoning coaching career, but there are some special young players who deserve to be heralded too, as they will be the future La Liga rising stars in some years.
