Ansu Fati to Gavi, the five Barcelona youngsters to watch out for in Australia
Barcelona heads to Australia with a host of star players and lesser-known academy products ready to put on a show.
Xavi will bring a 20-man squad with him for a friendly in Sydney against the A-Leagues All-Stars on May 25.
With the game less than 72 hours after their La Liga season concluded, Barcelona will likely give several younger players a chance to shine in the match.
The sports news wraps up the young Barca player GAVIs you have to watch.
Ansu Fati s first team made his debut aged just 16. The 19year-old is an undisputed star for Barcelona.
However, Fati has had his last two seasons interrupted by injury and only managed to make 15 appearances for the club this season.
Gavi (CM)
A La Masia graduate who signed for Barcelona when he was 11, Gavi is the latest youngster to conquer the club.
Having first tasted LaLiga's action at the start of the season, the midfielder hasn't looked back, making 47 first-team appearances.
Despite being just 17 years old, Gavi plays with the bearing and has already been compared to his manager, Xavi by some fans.
Mika Marble (CB)
With Barcelona's defense aging, Marmol is emerging as a possible future leader of Xavi's back line.
The 20-year-old center-back made his first senior appearance for Barcelona on May 16 after showing his all-around ability in Spain's third division.
This was a dream come true. It was only a few minutes, but the most important.
the thing was that this was my debut, said Mamol."You always think you can have a few minutes when you are called up, but getting them in a squad like Barca's is difficult. But all the work we do at Barca B is with the illusion of being able to debut.
"Xavi me to go out and have yourself and catch the ball. I dedicate it to my parents, family, and especially friends, who always support me. I will keep this shirt and these pants forever.
Alejandro Balde (LB)
Another defender looking to make his mark at Camp Nou in the coming years is 18-year-old Balde. Seen as a possible successor to Jordi Alba, the left-back made his first-team debut in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich last year and finished the 2021-22 season with seven senior appearances.
Balde was particularly impressive on 16 May when he started Barca's 0-0 draw with Getafe.
“Alejandro Balde was great today. He was great in attack and showed his character, Xavi said after the match. I am very glad for and Mika Marmol. They have the best future ahead of them.
Arnau Tenas (GK)
A 20years old goalkeeper who joined La Masia in 2010, Texas, has yet to make his senior debut for Barca but has been a regular on their B-back.
He was also a last-minute call-up to the Spanish national team in March following the late retirement of Robert Sanchez. While Texas didn't show up, he is a player capable of rising to a higher level.
After a long season for Barcelona's first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, a cameo appearance for the young goalkeeper in Australia seems like a real possibility.
