We have qualified for the 2026/27 UEFA Youth League, which is nice.

How far did they get last time? R16 wasn’t it? Can’t for the life of me remember who knocked us out.

We qualified via the Domestic Champions Path this season. Entered at Second Round, eliminated in Third Round by PSV.

Previous season, we qualified because the first team made the Champions League. Finished 15th in the big group stage and won through one knockout round before being eliminated by Barcelona in the last sixteen.

So, respectable but unspectacular would perhaps be a fair summary of our efforts thus far.
