Barca players everyone should watch out for in the future
Oscar Mingueza
We desperately needed CBs at one point, when Lenglet was the only CB who was fit, and Mingueza started in a 4-0 win vs Osasuna. Since then, he has only grown, and he will surely be giving Eric Garcia stiff competition. Watch out for him, he's a great homegrown gem.
Pedri
Me at 17: writing this thread. Pedri at 17: starting for Barca, having benched Pjanic and Riqui Puig. He gives out a lot of Iniesta vibes. Definitely not at that level yet, but definitely has the potential to reach it. Great vision and great creativity, ahead of his age.
Frenkie de Jong
My favorite player at Barca, he's been our second best player behind Messi, and our most versatile player. He has played each and all of the positions assigned to him in equal flair. We missed a midfield leader last year, this year Frenkie has become just that.
Ansu Fati
Though out injured most of the season, he was great while he was there. Never thought we would find Messi's replacement, but he has the makings for it. Next season hopefully we'll see more of what we saw at the beginning of this season.
Ronald Araujo
I was sure as hell that we needed a new CB the moment Bayern scored the 4th. I saw Araujo play this year, and I was happy. Great in his physical and in his aerial duels, he has some pace and tracks back quite well, something the other CB's aren't good at.
Sergiño Dest
When Barca signed Dest as Semedo's replacement, I wasn't that happy. But the USMNT starter surprised me. He isn't flawless, but there were matches where he showed up big time. If his other attributes become as good as his build-up play, he will be one of the best.
Riqui Puig
Don't worry man, hang in there you'll get your big break soon. Puig was one of the few bright spots i from last season. But Koeman doesn't start him much, and honestly it is the right choice. As of now he doesn't have a role in the midfield. But he will in the future.
