Last summer, after the humiliating defeat of FC Barcelona in the hands of Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, a rebuilding of the team started from the Barça club and gave way to some veterans like Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic The Arturo vidal to make way for a new generation of talent.
Initially, that wave of young people should be a support for the experienced footballers who stayed, but because of the injury plague that occurred in the selection of Barça during the early months of the campaign, that new generation has had to get up to arrive in the team and take responsibility.
Some arose from La Masia, other entries from other teams, but many of them are already starting to stand out. The most obvious case is that of Pedri (18 years old), who is from the UD Las Palmas as a young ‘pearl’ but which is a fundamental piece in the scheme of today Ronald KoemanThe Gran Canaria advanced to the right Coutinho and he settled in the place before and after the Brazilian’s injury.
Ansu Fati (18) He is also one of the footballers worth noting as, before his meniscus tear began, he was also one of the foundational pillars of the team. It remains to be seen how he returns from his injury, but along with Pedri, he is the jewel in the crown and the player most expected in the years to come.
The list of players of a certain weight on the team does not end here and continues with a player like Ronald Araújo (21), entrenched in the defensive axis until his injury. Sergiño Dest (19), for his part, he’s also indisputable when Sergi Roberto isn’t around, although the North American isn’t overly respected for his injuries.
Francisco Trincao has exploded in recent weeks, with three goals in the last three games, and is already a solid option for Ronald Koeman. For his part, Riqui Puig (21) He has regained the confidence of the Dutch coach and is central due to injuries. The last to land is Ilaix Moriba (18), which points ways. Looking forward to next season, they are expected Eric García (20) The Alejandro Baldé (17)
