Who are the stars of the future?

After Chelsea's 3-2 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth League final on Monday, B/R picked out 50 players from the tournament to watch in the coming years.

Be it for mass potential, remarkable entertainment factor or positional intrigue, these 50 young stars' names are worth your attention and worth making a note of.

Please note: This is not a definitive ranking of the top 50 players in the tournament, although we have profiled the final four sides in the competition (Chelsea, Shakhtar, Anderlecht and Roma) more heavily as a result of their success.

All goal, assist and card statistics quoted are courtesy of UEFA.com. The players are ranked on their potential and prospects of establishing themselves as world-class stars. However, these rankings are accompanied by the obvious, natural road bumps and pitfalls of projecting 17- and 18-year-old kids.
