The UEFA Champions League, the highest level event in world football, attracts the attention of many players every year. Although generally speaking, players participating in the Champions League are after adulthood, there are also some special players who make their Champions League debut at the age of 19.

Among them, Kylian Mbappé is one of the youngest Champions League players. He made his Champions League debut as Monaco in December 2016, when he was only 17 years and 356 days old. Di Cario's outstanding performance attracted great attention and gradually became a world-class star in the following years.

In the same year, Breel Embolo also competed in the Champions League for the first time at the age of 19. He played for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands and made his Champions League debut against Manchester United.

In the following years, more young players joined the Champions League. For example, Gianluigi Donnarumma became AC Milan's goalkeeper at the age of 19 and made his debut in the Champions League in 2016-2017. In addition, Jadon Sancho played in the Champions League in 2018 when he was only 19 years old.
