Where are they now? Barcelona's youngest debutants since 1990

Barcelona is famous for its production line at the famous La Masia, but how did its youngest debutants since 1990 succeed?

The Catalan side have produced some of the best players of the modern era, but not all promising prospects have reached their potential.

We've taken a look at the 12 players who made their Barcelona debut under the age of 18 over the past 30 years, starting with the oldest.

One of the most intriguing cases to come out of La Masia, Rosas was described by Xavi as 'a mix of Laudrup and Messi' in an interview with French side So Foot.

"If you saw how he played at 15, 16 or 17, you would say: 'When this guy is in the first team, the Camp Nou will hallucinate,'" Xavi said.

Rosas was given his salvation at 17 on the final day of the 1997-98 campaign by Louis van Gaal with Barcelona already crowned champions, but was substituted at half-time as Salamanca won 4-1.< /p>

It turned out to be his only appearance for the club, and he went on to play for 11 different clubs, mostly in the second tier, where his short stature made it difficult for him to shine.

"When I had to leave, I couldn't adapt to the new demands that came my way," he said. "I had to defend more and take on other tasks than what I used to do at Barça."

Left-back Balde bowed out at Barcelona a month before his 18th birthday as a substitute in a humble 3-0 home loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage.< /p>

A handful of appearances followed for the first team, but he remains on the periphery of Xavi's senior squad and he continues his development with the B team.

We've been fans of him for a while - we can't wait to see more in the years to come.

The best teenager in Europe? We love Pédri. He's a joy to watch - and it was obvious from his first 20-minute appearance as a 17-year-old in Barca's 4-0 thrashing of Villarreal that they had another special player on their hands. /p> Adama Traore

Traore has made just four appearances in all competitions for Barcelona, ​​scoring once in an 8-1 thrashing against Huesca in the Copa del Rey, during his first stint at his boyhood club.

"I would love to play in La Liga again one day," Traore told Wolves' official website. "I had some action and I did well. It was at the Camp Nou, so of course it was nice to feel the atmosphere.”

The winger left Barcelona for Aston Villa when he was just 19, with Barcelona insisting on a buyout clause, but he was relegated in his only season at Villa Park before suffering the same fate after joining Middlesbrough.

A season in the Championship saw Traore rediscover his mojo and he continued to terrify Premier League defenses by claiming to be the best dribbler in the world.

We're still waiting for him to add a cohesive end product, and Barca haven't made last season's loan deal permanent, but Traore remains a box office footballer.

We often comment on how strange Deulofeu's career has been, but it bears repeating: he rose through the ranks at Barcelona before impressing on loan at Everton, then crashing out on loan at Sevilla, opening the door for Everton to sign the winger permanently.

His return to Goodison Park didn't go as planned and he was sent on loan to Milan, where he impressed so much that Barcelona decided to re-sign him. He again struggled to establish himself at Camp Nou, and so returned to the Premier League with Watford, before eventually moving to Pozzo's sister club Udinese. Phew.

"It's difficult because at Barcelona you always have your eyes on you," Deulofeu told the Guardian in 2018. "It's wrong because people think you're Messi or a player with a lot of experience. You have to be careful because you have to take it step by step."

A 13-minute cameo against Murcia in 2003 was Riera's entire career in the senior Barcelona team, and the striker has since played for nine other clubs, including a short stint with Cham...
