BARCELONA, Jan 16 — Barcelona’s young players, leading by teenage sensation Gavi, were at the heart of the club’s first trophy for nearly two years as they thumped rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
The ushering in of a new start for Barcelona is the club’s fervent hope, after they lifted their first trophy in the 21st century without Lionel Messi being part of the squad. They signed Robert Lewandowski, who also netted against Madrid in the Super Cup triumph in Saudi Arabia, as well as Jules Kounde and Raphinha among others.
There is a young core to Xavi’s team, with Gavi and Pedri key to the reshaped midfield, while Araujo and Kounde are in their early 20s. Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was totally overwhelmed by the combination of the midfielder and Balde on the left wing. “They can give Barca glorious games and win many titles. Pedri is a magician and Gavi is spectacular, the energy he has in every game and now with more patience, and goals.”
