FC Barcelona has always been well renowned for the attacking talent that it produces and develops. The Catalan giants have helped several generational talents emerge from nothing into the elites of football through their academy and subsidiary. Interestingly, the same formula continues to prosper even today.
While Robert Lewandowski continues to struggle in the first team, the rest of the categories of Barcelona have found their target men. The Polish striker still has much to offer, but finding his groove this season has been quite the challenge.
Looking towards the youngsters, SPORT has decided to highlight some of the most promising names. First come the two undeniable strikers; Pau Victor and Marc Guiu.
The two superstars:
The first name is a loanee from Girona who has already scored 10 goals for Barça Atletic in 15 appearances this season. Guiu, on the other hand, is a name that even fans of the first team recognize.
The young striker pitched up this season to score a lightning-fast winner against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. Apart from that goal, however, his record within the subsidiary is impressive by itself. He has bagged 11 goals across all competitions.
Alejandro Oviedo (Infantil A):
Then come the more obscure statistics of Infantil A and below. Within Infantil A, Alejandro Oviedo and Paumi Mateos are the most prominent scorers. Both young strikers alternate between goals for the team and have amassed 18 goals between them. Interestingly, both of them have contributed 9 goals each.
Marvin Chukwbunkem (Infantil B):
Within Infantil B, the top scorer is Marvin Chukwbunkem with 8 goals. His first touch, ability to sense goal-scoring opportunities and physical powers are highlighted by SPORT as being the main features that stand out alongside the sheer number of goals he has scored.
Sanakou Nomoko (Cadet A):
Next comes the category of Cadet A, one in which Samakou Nomoko is the most lethal forward. With 7 goals to his name, the winger is not just a pacey wide-man, but also continues to hone his goal-scoring abilities. His speed, power, and creative abilities are also seen as massive assets for Barcelona.
Genis Clua (Cadet B):
Lastly, in Cadet B, Genis Clua is the name that has featured the most on the scoresheet. Despite primarily being an attacking midfielder or even an interior, his 7 goals are the highest across his category in Barcelona. His dribbling, finishing, and awareness are all key traits that help him add goals to his tally.
