Better and younger than Lamine Yamal! La Masia's new gem travels to Newcastle

The new gem from La Masia has been included in Barça's team to face Newcastle in the Champions League

Barça is already in Newcastle to face the "Magpies" in this first matchday of the UEFA Champions League, which has started with victories for Madrid, PSG, and Liverpool. Flick's team is already resting in their designated team hotel, waiting for everything to be ready at Newcastle's stadium in a few hours, which will be full. Flick won't be able to count on Lamine Yamal, but what's interesting is that, on this Barça trip, the new gem of La Masia, just 15 years old, has also packed his bags.

As usual, Barça's first team travels to Champions League matches on a charter flight, accompanied by the Under-19 team, better known as Juvenil. Barça's Juvenil A, in this case, is competing in the Youth League, so many young players from this team coached by Pol Planas have the opportunity to travel with the senior team. The surprise has come in the Juvenil A squad list: a gem compared to Lamine Yamal, only 15 years old, has boarded the plane to Newcastle.

Comparing young talents to Lamine Yamal is complicated, especially because the Spanish left winger, who is out due to some pubic discomfort, keeps growing by leaps and bounds. Nevertheless, some point out that, at La Masia, there's a talent who could soon be ready to make his debut under Hansi Flick: for now, he's already traveling to Newcastle.

Lamine Yamal is already the present, but there's another gem from La Masia who is also close to being so. According to specialists working at La Masia, Lamine Yamal is an outstanding player, but there's another talent rising strongly who is in Newcastle with Juvenil A. Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal has stayed in Barcelona to recover from his pubic discomfort, a young pearl from La Masia has traveled to Newcastle and could make his debut.

Obviously, this young 15-year-old gem, whom many compare to Lamine Yamal, would make his debut in the Youth League, since he hasn't been included in Hansi Flick's list. On the charter flight that left Barcelona for Newcastle, the 23 players drafted by Flick and also the 20 players drafted by Pol Planas, coach of the Juvenil culer, were traveling. In addition to these 43 players, members of Hansi Flick's staff, directors, and many other figures who are part of FC Barcelona were also on this same plane.

Among all this mix of players, the name of Ebrima Tunkara stood out and still stands out, a boy only 15 years old born in 2010. Tunkara has the opportunity to make his debut in the Youth League competing against boys three years older, something that shows he's at a superlative level while still being a cadet age player.
