Yamal and Cubarsi are not yet 18 until next year. Bernal would also probably have started in midfield last night if he never suffered that dreadful injury earlier in the season - another player born in 2007.
There are a couple more gems to come by all accounts born in '08.
What’s most impressive about La Masia is that lesser well-known academy players are producing. We all know the big name prodigies like Yamal, Gavi etc. But the likes of Casado and Fermin Lopez have slotted in to the team in the last few months and done very, very well.
I am not, sadly. My fondness for the club comes from previous stints in the city. I would love to go back and retire there.
However, there’s a bit of a quare relationship between the local and the foreigner developing in Barcelona.
