Arsenal standout Kieran Tierney is among a host of world stars who have fulfilled a prophecy surrounding European football's precocious class of 2016.
They say predictions are for fools, however, Marca will be feeling pretty pleased as their 'wonder boy' list six years ago is now bearing fruit.
The Spanish outlet tipped 11 teenagers to go and become world stars and, for the most part, it's going to plan.
Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe headlines the the all-star team that has sees starting berths for club team-mate and Euro 2020 hero Gianluigi Donnarumma between.
Wolves skipper Ruben Neves might be the biggest surprise only because the now 24-year-old looks more like a grizzled veteran rather than a player entering their prime.
But Tierney's inclusion is significant as he made the cut only months into his development under Brendan Rodgers during the Invincible Treble season.
And this was amid growing interest from a host of clubs including Arsenal and a Napoli side under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian's admiration hasn't dimmed and Tierney is a serious candidate as Real Madrid go in search for a new left-back to compete with Ferland Mendy.
And, perhaps, Tierney and Mbappe could be team-mates for real if the France superstar kickstarts a new Galacticos era at the Bernabeu.
