Barcelona may already have the next world-class talent after incredible footage from the iconic La Masia academy has gone viral online.

Throughout the years, Barcelona's legendary La Masia academy has produced some of the best footballers of all time.

The likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and, most recently, Lamine Yamal have all graduated from Barcelona's youth teams.

But now, fans are convinced that La Masia has already produced another world class talent after spotting clips of the youngster online.

Despite only graduating from La Masia in 2023, Yamal has already made 100 appearances for Barcelona and is averaging at least one goal involvement every other game with 22 goals and 33 assists.

The 17-year-old has played a vital role in the Spanish side's current season, helping take them to the top of La Liga table and to the Champions League semi-finals.

And it looks like 13-year-old Adam Qaroual could be set to follow in Yamal's footsteps, as a clip of him playing for Barcelona Infantil B in September has gone viral online.

In the clip, Qaroual dribbles past five defenders to provide an incredible assist for his teammate, with the commentary on the match exclaiming: "Oh my goodness, what is this boy doing? That is just out of this world."



Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: "Yamal isn't even 18 yet and they're already spawning another one! What on earth is La Masia cooking!"

While one commented: "It's scary to see the amount of talents La Masia produce."

Another joked: "La Masia juju is insane."

And one claimed: "Greatest academy of all time but a country mile."

Qaroual was born on July 30, 2012, in Mönchengladbach, Germany and joined FC Barcelona in July 2023, having previously played for the likes of Borussia Mönchengladbach and PSV.

The young midfielder's impressive abilities caught the eye of renowned superagent Jorge Mendes, who also manages players like Manchester City's Ruben Dias and Liverpool star Diogo Jota, further suggesting that he is destined for big things.

It remains to be seen exactly what the future holds for Qaroual, but with several outlets comparing him to the likes of Messi and Diego Maradona, it's safe to sat that the future is bright.
