Matthijs de Ligt has been the star performer for Ajax

There is something really special about Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt. The 19-year-old recently became the youngest player to captain a side in a Champions League semi-final. It’s astounding how the youngster has matured into a world class defender at such a young age.

De Ligt has belied his tender years and has displayed composure of the highest order on the biggest stage of European football.

In the last one year, the centre-back has come up against some of the best players in the world and has fared admirably against them.

Ajax has always been a great source of talents and the current side is no different.
