Challenging Test Awaits Juvenil A Before Resuming Youth League Campaign

The FC Barcelona Juvenil A faces a demanding encounter as they visit Girona at Municipal de Vilabreix this Saturday (12:45h, LaXarxa+). The clash with Girona, a consistently challenging opponent, serves as a crucial fixture for the young talents. The team aims to maintain their positive momentum in the league competition ahead of their upcoming Youth League challenge against Mainz on Tuesday—a playoff match determining entry into the Round of 16 of the European competition.

Despite a setback in the Copa del Rey, where they were eliminated, Òscar López’s squad has displayed impressive form in the league, securing four consecutive victories and currently holding the third position in the standings.

Notable Additions: Two emerging talents are set to make an impact:

1. Dani Rodríguez (18 years old): Recruited from the youth ranks of Real Sociedad, Rodríguez brings attacking flair and versatility, potentially stepping into the role left vacant by the injured Ferran Torres.
2. Pau Víctor (22 years old): Currently playing for Barça Atlètic on loan from Girona, Víctor stands out as the top scorer for the reserve team with an impressive tally of 11 goals.

Once again, the youth academy is entrusted with addressing the squad’s needs, a familiar task as the first team grapples with the absence of nine players, the latest being Ferran Torres due to injury.
