Benfica won the award again for the first time since 1962. The top Portuguese club from Lisbon won the youth league, the UEFA Youth Champions League. In the final, the future stars outperformed their colleagues from the RB Salzburg team. 6-0 it was!
Since his overall victory in his first European Cup – which Eusebio’s Benfica won over Puskas’s Real Madrid – the Portuguese has always missed out on the main prize.
Now she has a bite. Benfica youth won the youth league.
Red Bull Salzburg was not a final match. Fifteen minutes later, the Austrian team was already owed two goals, and in the second half the Portuguese made it awkward.
The final was a re-release of the 2017 edition, when Salzburg came out 2-1.
Racing Genk was the best Belgian representative in this edition of the UEFA Youth League. Al-Waad team died in the eighth final after a penalty shootout against Liverpool.
The youth of Club Brugge went out one round before that, against the Danish club Midtjelland.
