Dutch giants, AFC Ajax have one of the youngest lineups in the Champions League this season but the Eredivisie outfit are proving that football is not just all about age. Most of their players are firing on all cylinders in the tournament right now, with former Southampton striker Dusan Tadic being one of them.

The Serbian International has been a huge force in the Champions League this season, acting as the focal point of Ajax's attack and providing the needed inspiration to keep Erik Ten Hag's men flying high up front.

The attacker put in a fantastic performance against Real Madrid last week, scoring once and setting up two goals as his side cruised to a 4-1 victory over their Spanish counterparts. He now has an amazing 6 goals and 4 assists to his name in the tournament this term and he will be keen to improve his tally in the coming weeks.
