4:30 this is why barca la masia has the advantage over other academy.. it’s the same structure and style so players like cubarsi and lamine already knows where the players are occupying space positionally and what they need to do in certain situations instantly Man city has been doing the same(copying) Difference is we focus on strengthening the first team.. we are not a selling team whereas man city focuses providing cover for first team and also selling them as its counted as pure profit for ffp reasons Basically they don’t generate enough money from other resources so they kinda have to do it when opportunity arises

Gerrard Pique had a nice career path Sir Alex & Pep as a coaches married to Shakira. Played with Messi & Ronaldo during Barcelona & Utd at their peak, not bad for a boy from Catalonia.
