La Masia is the name of FC Barcelona's youth academy, and for decades it has been the backbone of the club's style of play. Players such as Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Lionel Messi all came through its ranks.
The tradition continues with a new generation, led by Lamine Yamal. For Barcelona, the academy is not only a source of talent but a way of teaching one idea of football from childhood.
