The ‘all La Masia’ starting lineup that Flick can field for Barcelona vs Villarreal | OneFootball

Barcelona will have the liberty to celebrate their league title in front of home supporters at Montjuic as they take on Villarreal tomorrow.

With the league title already sealed, Hansi Flick now has the freedom to shuffle his pack and experiment freely heading into the final two games of the season.

The German tactician revealed earlier today in his press conference that he is considering the idea of fielding an all-La Masia starting XI against Villarreal.

“We’ve talked about it, but we haven’t decided yet. It is an option. We have to wait until tomorrow to decide,” he said.

How will Barcelona’s lineup made up of only La Masia players look?

Flick has enough first-team-ready players from La Masia to form a strong and competitive team without forcing anyone out of position.

The potential lineup could include Inaki Pena in goal, with Hector Fort and Alejandro Balde operating in the full-back spots.

Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia could form the central defensive pairing, although Ronald Araujo can also be an option, as the Uruguayan international had initially joined the club for the Barça youth team.

The midfield could feature Marc Casado, Gavi, and Fermin Lopez, while the attacking trio might consist of Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Ansu Fati, who might be playing his last match in front of Barcelona supporters as a Barça player.

All of these aforementioned players have spent at least some time in the Barcelona youth system, including Olmo, who trained at the La Masia youth academy before joining Dinamo Zagreb earlier in his career.

Barça have come close to this feat before. Under Tito Vilanova in 2012, eleven La Masia graduates played together during a win against Levante, although they didn’t start the match together. Flick now has the chance to go one step further and make history.
