Nineteen-year-old Split's "Hajduk" team reached the final in the Youth Champions League this season, where they met Alkmaar's AZ club.
AZ club had a great season in Europe, playing in both youth and adult levels, and in the final, they defeated Roko Pukštas' represented team with a score of 5:0.
R. Pukštas, with Lithuanian roots, has already played several matches for the main "Hajduk" team. Meanwhile, in the youth team, he is one of the main players.
Pukštas has American citizenship, but the Lithuanian Football Federation aims to attract him to represent Lithuania in men's football. It is still unclear how this situation will end.
The 16-year-old center-back Luka Vuškovičius also plays in the "Hajduk" team, and European giants, including "Manchester City", are eyeing him.
What. A. Performance.@AZAlkmaar, your 2023 #UYL CHAMPIONS!
