In its latest edition of the ‘Weekly Post’, the ‘Cies Football Observatory’ chose the 200 best footballers who have not yet exceeded the age of 20. The ranking is based on two values. On the one hand, an index was calculated from the performance data, and on the other hand, the game minutes were summarized in connection with the level of the league to an experience index.
Lamine Yamal (18) from FC Barcelona leads the list as the best youngster, followed by his team -mate Pau Cubarsí (18). In Elías Montiel (19) there is only one player in the Top10 who has not already made his money in Europe. Roger Fernandes (19) only switched from Sporting Braga to Saudi Arabia to Al Ittihad a few days ago.
With a view of the Bundesliga, BVB newcomer Jobe Bellingham (19, 14th place) and RB shopping Andrija Maksimovic (18, 16th place) are the first players who appear in the list. German professionals are in vain in the TOP40. Finn Jeltsch (19) from VfB Stuttgart is 48th place the best DFB player, in 56th place follows Elias Baum (19) from Eintracht Frankfurt.
