Calendar of FC Barcelona

The 2021 has been a year of altibajos for the FC Barcelona, but if there is a positive news for the Barcelona entity after these twelve months, has been the irruption of the youngest players in the team. They have been the engine of the Barça, serving of key pieces in the present and leaving clear that they will be the leaders in a near future. The culés, of Pedri to Abde, going through Gavi, Nico, Araújo or Jutglà, without forgetting to Ansu Fati, are the best news that carries the barcelonismo of this year.

The importance of the youngsters has been a constant in the twelve months of the month, with Ronald Koeman, Sergi Barjuan and also now with Xavi. To beginnings of the year, Pedri González, Ronald Araújo and Òscar Mingueza served like referents for his team. They cost of the irregular performance (and the drops by injuries) for colarse in the alignment of the Dutch trainer and won a fixed place. The step of the of Tegueste has been, as little, impressive, as if it had played all his life in the Barça.

The short, but successful career of Pedri has been a balsam for the Barça. His effort has had reward with three individual recognitions importantísimos: the Golden Boy, Trophy Kopa and the prize to the Best Young Player of the Eurocopa, east for being a key footballer so that Spain reached the semifinals of the tournament. His past season was maratoniana, of dream and with a lot of good football. In 2022, the culés dream with that reencuentre with his best version.

Also it is necessary to do special quotation to an Araújo that has positioned like one of the central more important for the Barça. It is one 'rock' to defensive level and is to turn off all the fires. In fact, his irruption in the first team produced therefore: it arrived when I Hammered or Lenglet were not available and won a fixed place. In this 2021 has showed to be a very able player, with leadership and that few times fails.

In the middle of the rotations in the second stretch of the 2020-2021, appeared an Iliax Moriba that aimed to be a 'crack' for the Barça, but finished going out by the rear door. In any case, showed his talent and that it is an entrocampista 'top' with a lot of eases to generate danger of face to the rival area. It could become 'more', but it did not want to renew in the condicones that offered the culés and left to the RB Leipzig.

This exit caused that the attention of the Barça dumped to more youngsters in The Masia, where appeared in the pre-season Nico González and Gavi, two players cut to the style culé and that in very little time have left more than clear that have sufficient quality to remain in the first staff. Both midfield players have been keys for the Barcelona and also have premièred like goleadores. They are the future in present plenary... And that is the best news for the Barça.

Big (and important) irruptions

As in the best times, the picture culé is finding his best talents in The Masia. In front of the fault of resources in the offensive, the Barça went back to look to his inferior categories and found three players that have had the opportunity to show his quality: Ilias Akhomach, Ez Abde and Ferran Jutglà, with special quotation to the two last. The Moroccan is being one of the Barcelona feelings of the moment by his capacity of desborde and speed. It plays by both extremes and leaves clear a message: it is an extreme that Xavi can use enough.

Jutglà, by his part, has been a complete novelty for the Barça and a puff of cool air. It is a very involved player in the game, with goal and that 'work' too. It will be necessary to see how many opportunities will have the next year, with the returns and reinforcements, but in this last month his irruption has been more than important for the Barça.

Ansu Fati, the '10' of the Barça

Although the 2021 of Ansu Fati has been marked by the injuries and relapses, is an important player for the Barça. No by at all it inherited the dorsal of Leo Messi, one that has not weighed him when it has been in thefield . It is the most differential player of the staff and that creates magic with very little, as if it was simple... When it is, it feels the difference.

Andn 2022 will return with the batteries recargadas and the illusion to tope. His presence can improve the things for the culés, because it is an explosive footballer, with 'spark' and a smell goleador of 'cracks'. Of these able players to invent the danger and 'kill' to the rival with very little
