Mika Faye and Noah Darvich, the Big Winners of the Break

Barça Atlètic managed to win their last league match (1-0 against Cornellà at the Johan Cruyff Stadium) despite missing 8 internationals. The good moment of the Blaugrana youth academy is also reflected in the call-ups from national teams.

The Two Scorers Both were also the only ones to find the net. Faye’s goal, a spectacular strike to celebrate his first international call-up with the Senegal senior team. A left-footed shot from outside the box with all the intention behind it, flying in like a rocket. The defender started and played 80 minutes in the 3-0 thrashing of Gabon (his goal opened the scoring) and remained on the bench unused in the second friendly: a 1-0 win against Benin.

Meanwhile, Noah Darvich competed in the 4 Nations Tournament at the Pinatar Arena. In the 3 matches (a 1-0 win against the Netherlands, a goalless draw against England, and a 1-4 defeat against the Czech Republic), he was a starter and showcased his talent. He scored against the Dutch and played a total of 209 minutes.

U19 and U17 to the Euros The Spanish U19 team qualified for the European Championship in Northern Ireland. Héctor Fort played full matches against Kosovo (2-1) and Austria (1-2), both resulting in victories, and rested in the first game against Slovenia (1-1). He played 180 minutes compared to Marc Guiu’s 103, who started on the first day (72′) and was a substitute on the last (31′). Meanwhile, Sergi Domínguez played the full 90 minutes in the second match against Kosovo and had no minutes in the other two games.

Representing the Barça B team in the U17 team was Marc Bernal, who also helped Spain U17 qualify for the Euros. Bernal played the full 90 minutes in the 3-0 win against Norway, had 62′ in the 5-0 win against Slovenia, and played the entire game in the 1-3 defeat against Austria. In total, he played 242 minutes.

Jaume Cuéllar and Diego Kochen Jaume Cuéllar had playing time in both friendly matches for the Bolivian senior national team held in Algeria. He started against the home team (a 3-2 defeat) and came off the bench in the 1-0 win against Andorra, playing a total of 94 minutes.

And Diego Kochen guarded the goal for the United States U19 team in the first halves against England (3-2) and Morocco (1-0), both ending in defeat.
