The FC Barcelona presented in Kiev with an eleven full of young people to confront try close the pass to the eighth of final of Champions League. At the end, the experiment of Ronald Koeman could not go out better and the Barcelona left of Ukraine with the pass in the pocket and with a goleada in favour. The Ukrainians received a painful 0-4 in front of the 'baby Barça' that put the Dutch.
Martin Braithwaite, that to his 29 years was one of the veterans that played this past Tuesday, marked two of the four so many that annotated the culés. By his side, Sergiño Dest, of so alone 20 years, put one and Antoine Griezmann, that went in in the second part, materialised the another. In summary, a goleada fraguada in the first part by part of a group barcelonista that ilusionó a lot of.
Although the improvement in the game was sufficient reason to wake up this illusion in the barcelonismo, definitely was the age of the players that there was on the field what did that the fantasy was still greater.

It did 9 years that the culés did not take out an alignment with so short age and celebrated it with a lot of goals.
In concrete, the eleven of this Tuesday had an average of 24 years and 206 days. Players like Óscar Mingueza, of alone 21 years; Carles Aleñá, of 22; the own Dest and his 20 years; Pedri, that has fulfilled 18 this Wednesday; Francisco Trincao, that has 20; Junior Firpo, of 24 years; or even Clément Lenglet, that fulfilled 25 in June, went the names that achieved to go down the average of age of the group barcelonista.
The fact that they did not play of start footballers like Antoine Griezmann (29), Leo Messi (33), Gerard Hammered (33), Jordi Alba (31) or Sergio Busquets (32) allowed to go down a lot the average of age. An average that, in fact, could have been even more low if it had played Riqui Puig (21) in place of Miralem Pjanic (30), that is something that commented . Finally, it split of start the one of Tuzla and the one of Matadepera went out in the second half.
