La Masia is fantastic. Its the heart and soul of Barcelona, and its been bailing them out during these tough times. HOwever, you cant win La Liga or the Champions League with a bunch of kids. I like what Im seeing from the management. They're getting smart, following the Real Madrid playbook, grabbing those free agents. Thats the way to do it. You need that mix of experience and young blood to really dominate.
Barcelona's not just about surviving anymore. They're gearing up to take back their rightful place at the top. And trust me, they're going to get there, even without splashing the cash on big-name loans.
Statistically speaking, La Masia have produced some of football's greatest players of the last two decades as it's been Barcelona's most helping hand in terms of equipping the club with the best legs over the years but they just can't continue to rely on the products of La Masia to have quality first team squads seasonally and like you rightly said, you can't win the Spanish La Liga or the UEFA Champions League with kids. We understand that Barcelona management is currently going through a difficult period in financing the club but they must do their best to sign quality senior players that can play blend well with the young lads in the team and that they've been doing lately. Barcelona if you ask me is still a work in progress when it comes to reclaiming dominance in Spanish football and I don't expect them to win the league next season.
