#3 Give chances to the youth players
Barcelona's once fabled La Masia youth academy has been long forgotten by the managers in-charge. Not only are the young players coming out fresh from the academy sold or loaned out of the club, the practice puts a negative toll on the morale of the young players.
Undoubtedly La Masia is still one of the finest football academies in the world, but the managers in-charge of the first and second teams need to put more trust in the system that has delivered unmatched success for the club in the past.
At the moment there are tons of promising players in Barcelona's ranks, most notably the 2017-18 UEFA Youth League winning squad that has been promoted to Barcelona B under their manager Garcia Pimienta.
A crop of players consisting of talents like Oscar Mingueza, Abel Ruiz, Carles Pérez, Ricard Puig and Juan Miranda would be hoping for chances to prove themselves on the big stage. Not only the U-19 group, but the former men from the B team are also in contention to fight for a place in the first team.
Oriol Busquets, Carles Aleña, Palencia, Cucurella, Miranda, Monchu and Cuenca are all worthy contenders for a place under Ernesto Valverde. It has to be seen how the boss uses the massive amount of talent he has under his charge.
