Barcelona reached the final of the Catalunya Cup with a side mainly made of youth players and it will now be only a question of time before they are competing for a place in the first team.


The youngsters were given the stage to show-case their talent and they let no one down with a 3-2 win over Girona. The side featured only five first-team regulars who played alongside Corcoles, Crosas, Dimas, Xavi Torres, Emilio Guerra and Jeffren.


Later they were joined by two 16-year-olds who are set to follow in the footsteps of Mesi and Giovani, Thiago and Gai Assulin.


How good do you think these youngsters are? I reckon Gai Assulin is definitely one for the future and will hit the big time sooner rather than later. The big question though is how Rijkaard will find space for them
