In the midst of a season filled with excitement and promising talent, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal has taken the spotlight at Barcelona. It seems that La Masia, Barcelona's famed youth academy, is rekindling its tradition of nurturing exceptional young talent just like the good old days.

If you're a fan who recalls the glory of Barcelona's 2011/2012 squad, featuring legends like Carles Puyol, Pique, Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, and Messi, you'll be pleased to know that present-day Barcelona is revisiting its roots and prioritizing the development of their youth stars.

This season, the 16-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal has been a consistent presence on the pitch in every Barcelona match, showcasing his remarkable skills with two assists and a goal to his name. He has etched his name in history as the youngest player ever to grace both La Liga and the Champions League. But he's not the only one making waves.

Fermin Lopez, another young prospect, made his debut for the Blaugrana against Madrid in an exhibition match, stunning everyone with a sensational goal. Since then, he has featured in five La Liga matches and three UCL matches, with his most recent highlight being a goal in Wednesday's clash against Shakhtar Donetsk, marking his second of the season.

This past weekend saw 17-year-old Marc Guiu's eagerly awaited debut, and he didn't disappoint. Just 23 seconds after stepping onto the pitch as a substitute, he found the back of the net, clinching a crucial victory for Barcelona against Athletic Bilbao. Guiu's impressive performance earned him another cameo appearance in Wednesday's Champions League match. Not to be left behind, 20-year-old Marc Casado also made his presence felt.

With Pedri's return from injury and the emergence of talents like Gavi, Balde, Lamine Yamal, and Fermin Lopez as regular starters for Barcelona, along with the promising arrivals of Guiu and Casado, the team is rapidly becoming one of the youngest and most exciting squads in La Liga. Barcelona is wholeheartedly embracing its roots by investing in the growth of its youth once more, ensuring a bright future for the club.
