Barcelona is currently playing their home games at Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium. This shall continue for another 18 months to complete the ground’s beautification.

Xavi, who rose through the ranks of La Masia, has consistently demonstrated a commitment to nurturing young talent within the club.

Xavi’s faith in La Masia’s talent pool was further underscored this year when he handed 16-year-old Lamine Yamal his debut in April.
