    This is just a late comment but for what is worth...Damm is a big deal academy in the Barcelona. Most of their players go pro too. And, Damm is also the reason why Barcelona stop having a Barcelona C team (they got sick of losing the finals against Damm). There are so many of these academies in Spain but I think it's important to learn about them because that is where the top teams go to scout talent or is where they place players they are interested in but may not fit a team's plan on a particular season. Sant Gabriel, Sant Andreu, Badalona, Kelme, and so on

    Not just the top teams in Spain go there to scout talent. Teams from the UK, France, etc

    Barcelona got rid of their C team because they got sick of losing in the finals?

    Damm would always beat Barcelona C on the league so they could never get the title. After many years, FC Barcelona simply stopped their C team program (Senior post Academy program). Now it's only B and Main Squad. This is old history :)

    My point really was that we need to become more familiar with development teams in Europe that feed the bigger budget clubs. Not just Spain but others countries as well.

    Konrad scored in last week's Juvenil B game. All signs still are pointing toward a move to Juvenil A next year, but I am not the most Masia knowledgeable person.

    Must be a rough day to be Noah Leeds, he's no longer the youngest American to play in the highest youth level in Spain, Juvenile A... :eek:

    Hope he stays there, just for the UEFA youth league games on YouTube.

    They're accelerating his move up. That is a very good sign, and I believe he's going to be one of their key players next campaign.

    He’ll be 17 next season. Let’s hope he can handle it cuz if he has the same type of production and results, he will really put himself on their radar

    Don't know the answer to this but wondering someone does:

    Has there ever been an American who played for a second team in the second division of a top 5 country (probably can only have happened in Spain or Germany)?

    I believe Germany doesn't allow second teams to be less than 2 divisions below the main team

    He's just so smooth moving with the ball.

    Anyone have a sense of what the average club outcome is like for a 17-19yr who was part of Juvenil A at La Masia?

    Barcelona will only take a small % of these players into the first team, but I’m wondering if most of the others who don’t make the cut end up in one of the top 4 Leagues.
    Or do many of these players not pan out at all just like any other academy?
