Is Barcelona's famed La Masia academy in decline?



In the 14th minute of Barcelona’s game against Levante on 25 November 2012 Martín Montoya replaced Dani Alves to complete a significant moment in the history of the club. For the first time in Barça’s history, the entire first team comprised of players who had graduated through the club’s historic La Masia academy. Two goals from Lionel Messi and one each from Andrés Iniesta and Cesc Fàbregas sealed a comfortable 4-0 victory on the way to Barcelona’s 22nd league title.

For some Barcelona supporters the lack of home-grown players coming through into the first team will be seen as a worrying trend. Others will be gleeful at the chance to see Turan, a magician of a midfielder, put on the famous Barcelona shirt, unperturbed by the knowledge that someone like Samper has been forced out because of his move. The next 12 months will be pivotal in the medium-term future of La Masia and its famed productivity.
