“I feel like we’re giving away games, but that’s part of the immaturity of a lot of footballers. We fail in any negative situation. These are specific errors.

The youngest professional is Canarian, he is 21 years old, and the most experienced is from Uldekona, with 32. But these are also players who have many important matches behind them and are accustomed to playing in very difficult conditions. Overall, the average age of all Barça players who participated in the Montilivi It was 26.25.
The dressing room consists of players of all ages and Javi throughout the course he had to resort to the help of young talents from La Masa (Lamin Yamal, Kubars, Fermn, Hector Fort, Mark Guiu...), but most of his people have enviable resumes.
