Moc Moc! Our amics at Barcelona sent over these exclusive images of their newly-revamped La Masia academy – bringing together all eleven of their players in Guardiola’s XI, who were successfully graduates of the renowned youth academy. And we’re sure many of you Culés are brimming with pride as you look at this right now!
The latest issue of the Barca magazine features Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Piqué, Valdés, Messi, Cesc, Busquets, Thiago, Pedro and Fontàs as they stand in front of the new La Masia, which looks fantastic, as compared to the old suburban-looking one near the Nou Camp, where the youth players will be literally running as you walk in between them.
Said Andoni Zubizaretta, Barcelona’s director of football :
“They know how difficult it is to get to the top and the image is a real stimulus for those who are just starting out, they can see it is possible to achieve a dream, but there is a lot of effort and hard work behind it all. That photo is a consequence of the policy of the Club over the last 20 years and the historic moment of the new training centre”.
