Rely On La Masia Graduates

The one thing that has been certain during this disastrous season for Barcelona is the fact that the two La Masia graduates, Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig, have been a clear success. Both the youngsters have found their spot in the starting lineup and have clearly earned it after performing better than the many veterans of the team.

Setien will surely look to implement his young superstars in the Champions League draws which might lead big names such as Ivan Rakitic, Antoine Griezmann, and more on the bench. Despite this, fans will agree that Fati at the mere age of 17 and his teammate Puig at 20, have dominated their roles at the club and should be given a regular spot ahead of their struggling counterparts.
