Made in La Masia: Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo
Two of the best in Spain and the Eurocup were trained at “La Masia”.
Barcelona’s influence is becoming evident as Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal are having a dream Euro where both players are favorites to win the Player of the Tournament award. Both players share the same background, having been trained at "La Masia."
Lamine Yamal, 16, and Dani Olmo, 26, are among the best current footballers for the Spanish national team and the Euro. Yamal is the current leader in assists for the tournament with a total of three. On the other hand, Olmo shares the top scorer position with Mikautadze (Georgia), Musiala (Germany), Gakpo (Netherlands), and Schranz (Slovakia), with only the Dutch player still in the tournament.
Now, we can see the significant mark "La Masia" leaves on players, a Barcelona institution where great footballers destined for greatness are born. With these two players, Spain’s chances for a new European title are even higher.
