50 best goals of the Masia in the first half of 2013/14 season
2 points

These are the 50 "best" goals of the end of last year by players in the FC Barcelona academy (la Masia), rated I believe by Barça TV. Some of these are lucky, or scored against awful defensive play, but a dozen or more are wonderful. There are quite a few instances of very nice footwork leading to goals.

It is impressive how many of these goals are scored on the ground, by simply passing the ball to the right spot on the net. I"ve noticed that Messi scores a lot of his goals in the same way.

I think my favorite goal of this lot, though, is the one that comes on a throw in, quickly returned to the thrower, who has the awareness to simply boot the ball into the net, from quite a distance!

I want to note in passing that Diario Sport often refers to la Masia as "la cantera" or "the quarry". What a fabulous turn of phrase! Makes it seem like they are simply mining the players out of the Catalan earth.
