The Catalans lined up with a lot of fresh, homegrown talent against Dynamo Kiev

Sergi Barjuan trusted in La Masia for the win over Kiev. Oscar Mingueza, Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba, Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquets, Gavi and Ansu Fati were all from there.

Barcelona broke a record. They are the first Spanish team to line up in Europe with a side that features three players that haven’t yet turned 20.

Nico is 19 and 303 days. Ansu is 19 and 2 days. Gavi is 17 and 68 days.

The latter two are the youngest Barca players in Europe. The average age of the team was 24 years and 311 days.
