Barcelona’s La Masia is still very much full of talent.
Nowadays, maybe it’s not as popular as it used to be back when the likes of Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Carles Puyol were around, but their production line never stops.
One of the big talents emerging from the Catalans’ academy is the 20-year-old Alex Collado.

The young talent scored a brilliant back-heeled goal for Barca’s B team recently, in the 89th minute, no less, and he seems to be getting much more attention now.
Or at least, he seems to be rather popular among the Barca fans, who were showering him with all sorts of compliments and praise in reply to his latest Twitter post, both gushing over his goal and his skill in general.
Words like “crack” were thrown around a lot, meaning star in English.
It still remains to be seen whether the 20-year-old will ever reach his potential and earn a promotion into the senior team but at the moment, he already seems to be a fan-favourite.
