FC Barcelona´s young superstar Lionel Messi commented about two future stars of the Barca Youth Development.
Bojan Krkic and Giovanni Dos Santos are two of the most lauded jewels at Barca. Both, Bojan (16 years old) and Giovanni (17 years old) are members of the present Barca B squad: Although both are still very young, they are expected in the first team soon. Giovanni already gave his debut in the preseason tour and was also on the bench at the FIFA Club World Championship in Japan. Bojan was promoted this year from the Juvenile to Barca B and was the revelation of the team. His goalscoring abilities made him ti the team´s top scorer.


Messi, who was promoted himself 2 years ago with only 17 years feels that the two teenagers look ready for the first team. The youngerst goalscorer in the history of Barca explained:

Both of those players could play anywhere and in any team. There would be no problem. I got my chance because a lot of players were injured, and I was needed. But, I’ll say they are two great players.
