If the end of 2022 was the maximum for Lionel Messithe climbing of his last mountain, then 2023 was a year of relaxation for the all-time great, who plays for Inter Miami in the United States.
Both Messi and his contemporary greatest rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, have continued to dominate but on less important grounds, far from the European spotlight.
Instead, the French star Kylian Mbappé and the nordic machine Erling Haaland They have stood out again in 2023, being the great stars of their generation.
But 2023 saw a new emergence of young talents trying to strike up conversations alongside Mbappé and Haaland in a post-Messi/Ronaldo Europe.
Here are the ten best young players of 2023:
The skinny but tremendously effective 20-year-old is very easy on the eyes, and his ability to dribble in tight spaces is a notable aspect of his game.
Tuchel described Musiala as the one who makes the difference at Bayern Munich despite the presence of Harry Kane.
Their 2023/24 season was cut short by injury, but it was Musiala's late goal against FC Cologne that sealed another Bundesliga title for the Rekordmeister in May.
The Spanish star established himself as an integral figure in both the Barcelona and Spain midfield.
Gavi has gone from being Xavi's replacement to becoming a true superstar and his absence will undoubtedly be felt strongly during the second half of 2023/24.
Zaire-Emery joined a PSG squad packed with superstars at the end of 2022/23 and Luis Enrique has since harnessed his supreme talent.
Zaire-Emery is a do-it-all midfielder who has already shown that he can win a game on his own.
The Frenchman will surely become the cornerstone of PSG and Les Bleus' midfield for the next decade.
Belgian international Jérémy Doku exploded after Manchester City paid 60 million, the same amount as his current market value, to Rennes. With the winger, Guardiola gained new value for the attack with a player with impressive overflow, to give a new variable in the offense to the English team.
If we talk about revelations, the first name that comes to mind is Lamine Yamal, established at the age of 16 in FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. Her market value has gone from 0 to 50 in one year. Awesome.
In 2023, Lamine Yamal became…
– The youngest player and scorer in the history of La Liga.
– The youngest player in the history of the Champions League.
– The youngest scorer in the history of Barcelona.
– The youngest player and scorer in the history of Spain.
Brighton striker Evan Ferguson is one of the revelations of this season in the Premier League at 18 years old. The Irish international reached 65 million market value. He is a phenomenon and in 2023 he has become a figure.
The Englishman has contributed 21 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions during 2023. Some of his best work this season came in the Champions League and he will hope to maintain that in 2024.
Germany's great hope returning to action in 2023 following his devastating injury, Wirtz had a sensational year and some could argue that he is the best player currently in the Bundesliga.
Wirtz is now the creative leader of Europe's in-form team, Bayer Leverkusen.
The German is absolutely happy in flight and has averaged a goal contribution every 108 minutes in all competitions in 2023.
The former River scored 20 goals in 2023, won the starting job due to the injury of Belgian Kevin De Bruyne and got tired of celebrating titles: Champions League, Premier League, European Super Cup, Community Shield and the recent Club World Cup, where he scored two goals in the final against Fluminense. It's truly crazy about the 23-year-old boy who has already completed football.
His excellent time at Borussia Dortmund did not end in the best way, when he handed the title to Bayern in the last breath with Bellingham injured.
However, since that moment, Bellingham has quickly achieved maximum popularity for its conquest of Madrid.
After signing for European giants Real Madrid, Bellingham was used repeatedly by Carlo Ancelotti and responded to perfection, topping the La Liga scoring charts at the end of the calendar year.
2023 was truly Jude's year.
