Fresh tɑlents continue to emerge and leave their mark in FC Barcelona’s youth ranks, a nurturing ground for budding stars. While it’s not uncommon for the club’s academy to witness promising developments, the current advancements are noteworthy even by Barcelona’s esteemed standards.

Traditionally renowned for fostering exceptional midfield talents, the Barcelona academy is now demonstrating growth in other positions as well. Particularly, the forwards have recently exhibited remarkable prowess, and the latest standout player to showcase his brilliance is no exception.

As reported by SPORT, Barcelona Atletic secured their recent victory through the collaboration of a midfielder and a promising forward, Unai Hernandez. The young forward’s decisive goal around the 80th-minute mark breathed life into the subsidiary team against a formidable Sabadell side.

This triumph helps La Blaugrana stay in contention for the play-off spots, crucial for Rafa Marquez’s team aiming to ascend to the Segunda Division. The team is now just three points away from Celta Vigo, and achieving the minimum requirement of the sixth-place spot seems within reach.

While Hernandez was the goal scorer, credit is due to the midfielder mentioned earlier, Aleix Garrido, a familiar nɑme for followers of the subsidiary team. Garrido orchestrated the opening through outstanding individual play, exploiting gaps in Sabadell’s structure.

Unai Hernandez, in turn, displayed keen awareness of the created opportunity. Recognizing Garrido’s style of advancing the ball, he acted instinctively and trusted his teammate to deliver. With this goal, Unai Hernandez has accumulated five goals and three assists this season.

In terms of creativity, he stands as Barcelona Atletic’s second most influential assist provider. Moreover, his goal tally places him as the second-highest scorer, trailing behind Pau Victor, who has an exceptional 12 goals to his nɑme this season.

Xavi Hernandez, the head coach of the Barcelona first team, has taken note of these impressive statistics and progress by Unai Hernandez. The young talent has been called to train with the first team on multiple occasions, hinting at a potential promotion. Given the current absence of several first-team forwards due to injuries or unavailability, Xavi may turn to Hernandez’s talents to address the frontline challenges.
