Top five youngest debutants in Barcelona's history

La Masia has produced some of the best talents football has ever seen
Every young football player dreams of playing for Barcelona. The desire to play at Camp Nou has been shared by many young footballers.
Barca's capacity to develop domestic talent has contributed to one of their trademark outstanding victories in this rivalry. Recent residents of La Masia include legends like Andreas Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi, and Lionel Messi.
Let's look at the youngest players to ever don a Barcelona jersey in this post.
5. Gavi — 17 years 24 days

The latest rising star at Nou Camp is Gavi. He entered La Masia when he was 11 and swiftly ascended the ranks. After a few games for the B-team, the Barca prodigy was promoted to the big team.
Due to significant club changes, Gavi not only made it into the first squad but also established himself as a key member of the team. He is currently anticipated to fill the midfield vacancy.
4. Bojan Krkic — 17 years 19 days
At the youth level, Bojan Krkic shattered a number of records possessed by Lionel Messi. Many believed he would surpass the Argentine winger because of his talent and potential. Bojan even made his Barcelona debut earlier than Leo did.
In his first season, which was in 2007, he scored 10 goals for the team. Bojan Krkic, however, failed to live up to the expectations placed on him and gave in to the pressure.
3. Ansu Fati — 16 years 9 months 25 days
The youngest player who ever played for Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, the second-youngest player to appear for Barcelona in LaLiga, and the youngest goalscorer and assist-giver in Barcelona history are all titles that Ansu Fati now owns.
Following his success at the youth level, Fati was elevated to the first team. His signing was intended to give Barcelona's team greater depth, but the player quickly established himself as a key member of the starting lineup.
2. Vicenç Martínez — 16 years 9 months 7 days
At Barcelona, Vicenç Martnez ended an 80-year-old record. In 1941, he played his first game against Real Madrid. Early in his career, the left-back established a solid name for himself.
He was unable to build a successful career in Nou Camp, though. For two years, Martinez was on loan to Sabadell. His second stint wasn't any better because he was once again sidelined with a knee issue. His Barcelona career was all but over as a result.
1. Lamine Yamal: 15 years, 9 months
The 15-year-old joined the Blaugrana in the 83rd minute of Barcelona's 4-0 hammering of Betis to make his much-anticipated league debut. In a spirited performance, Yamal touched the ball 12 times and attempted a goal. A week after being originally included in Xavi's matchday squad, he was introduced.
Yamal, a talented winger, is the most recent in a long line of bright prospects to emerge from Barcelona's renowned La Masia programme. After Xavi invited the teen to train last September, the club promoted him to the B team level.
After earning a bachelor's degree in mass media, Rajarshi began his career as a sports writer in 2019, driven by his passion for sports journalism. He has been working in the field for over six years. A devoted fan of Lionel Messi and Barcelona, Rajarshi has been involved in sports since childhood. Before turning his focus to journalism, he even represented his college at the state level. Along with covering football, he enjoys playing the game, watching movies, and experimenting with new recipes in his spare time, as cooking is one of his favorite hobbies.
