Barcelona’s La Masia seems like an unstoppable, unending flow of talent, and this La Masia goal seems to reinforce that.
The famed academy recently was forced to release several of its players, but that doesn’t seem to have made any difference in the slightest, because the goals are still flowing and the talent is still high-five-ing.
Behold, the La Masia goal of the week, courtesy of the Alevin A (U12) squad.
Up until the end of the clip I was 100% sure that the goal was all #8’s. He beats two defenders for fun and embarrasses them in the process. But then his buddy goes and pulls off that ridiculous fake shot/roll over before he puts the ball in the net. I think it’s a scoop turn, and it’s definitely something I’ve only seen in FIFA.
And then there's the high five. I mean, if anything could possibly make me want to switch lives with these kids more it was that high five; not only are they good, but they are channeling thier inner Ricky Boobby and Cal Naughton JR. as well.
Now that is how you shake ’n bake.
