but it didn't have the youth to do so. FDJ, Pedri, Trincao, Dest, and Araujo weren't at barca. Fati was in juvenil b, puig not yet in barca b, and minqueza too.

the youth back then would have been alena/arthur in midfield and cuenca/todibo at CB and cucurella or Miranda at LB and perez and malcom as wingers. I'll take this year's youth over the prior versions by a mile.

This year, the youth look like they're actually a good base for the future. Prior years barca was also dealing with the debacle that was la masia under rosell/barto.


(i will say I wish Cucu had gotten a chance at LB and i still think alena could be useful in the squad)
