Where to Nurture Stars
At EURO 2024, the Spanish team won the championship, a proud achievement not only for La Roja fans but also for Barcelona and La Masia.
Players like Lamine Yamal or Dani Olmo are all young talents nurtured and trained from La Masia. They played a key role in helping Spain win EURO 2024. Thereby, it once again affirms that La Masia is one of the most excellent youth training centers in the world.
In particular, the success of Yamal - the player who just won the Golden Boy 2024 award, is a typical example of the remarkable development of talents from La Masia. Despite being just 16 years old, Yamal has become one of the brightest stars in European football.
The 2024 Golden Boy award - for the best young player - is a clear testament to the training strength of La Masia, having produced a talent that is not only outstanding at Barcelona but also in the international arena.
La Masia's success in training outstanding talents does not stop at individual awards, but is also demonstrated through the great achievements that these players have achieved in their careers. This training program not only helps players develop their skills but also conveys the values of team spirit, resilience and passion for the king sport.
Not just men's football
La Masia also made a strong impression in women's football, when the products from this training center continuously shone. Aitana Bonmati - one of the outstanding players of Barcelona and the Spanish national team, was honored to receive the Golden Ball 2024, thereby affirming the development of La Masia is not only limited to men's football but also expanded to women's football.
Aitana is an ideal model for young players, with skillful technique, excellent match coordination and relentless fighting spirit.
In particular, in the victory in the UEFA Women's Champions League, Barcelona had many players from La Masia in the squad, contributing significantly to this success. The perfect combination of young talents and experience has helped Barcelona dominate European women's football and proven that La Masia is not only the birthplace of male stars but also the cradle for female talents to shine.
Not only Bonmati, Vicky Lopez is also a notable name when winning the Golden Girl 2024 award. Vicky, another product of La Masia, has had an excellent performance and is a key player in the Barcelona squad in international tournaments.
