👶 Stuttgart’s youngsters shine: VfB lead the way in Europe | OneFootball

A fifth place in the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal semi-finalist, and qualified for the playoffs in the Europa League – VfB Stuttgart is once again having a fantastic season!

A look at the personnel makes this success story even a little more impressive.

VfB, along with FC Chelsea, is the only team in the European top-5 leagues that has not used a single player over 30 years old this season.

With backup goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow, there is only one player in the squad from Swabia who is older than 30. The goalkeeper occasionally plays in the cup competitions but hasn't seen any minutes in the Bundesliga.

This privilege seems to be reserved exclusively for the younger generation in Stuttgart.
