What Isn't Told About La Masia, Barça's Academy in One of Its Worst Moments

Barcelona has always boasted, to a greater or lesser extent, about the quality of its youth academy. While developing players who later make their debut in the first team, La Masia has also produced footballers who pass without much notice. Although La Masia has always been a source of pride for Barcelona, its current situation is too critical.

Having had three coaches during this season, La Masia's situation is worse than ever. Barcelona, despite trying to keep up appearances, hasn't been able to hide this crisis. Extremely concerned about this situation, Barcelona is at risk of seeing La Masia relegated by the end of the season.

A situation that is quite different from the praise Barcelona usually gives to La Masia regularly during recent seasons. Facing a harsh reality check, La Masia simply doesn't have the supposed talent to maintain its category.

The Lie About La Masia

Boasting of having developed several players who made history in the first team, La Masia is an overrated academy. Its current situation shows that, even with the supposed talent of its young players, La Masia is unable to improve its situation. After losing its chance to move up to Segunda against Córdoba, La Masia fell into disgrace.

Showing a poor mental state, this defeat clearly severely affected Barcelona's academy. Despite the measures Joan Laporta has taken to improve this situation, the reality is that his management, to no one's surprise, hasn't been the best.

This is quite different from the lie Barcelona has been telling for years and the situation with Real Madrid's academy. The Merengue team, also going through a significant crisis, made the necessary changes to considerably improve its state.

The Harsh Reality of Barcelona

Once again, Barcelona has been completely exposed to the world for a lie that was perpetuated for a long time. The current situation of La Masia has shown the true level at which Barcelona develops its young talents.
