World Sports: Youngster Espat has become a regular in Barcelona first-team training, showing his outstanding full-back ability

World Sports reported that young player Espat celebrated his 18th birthday on May 21. He has already won the European Youth League, La Liga and King's Cup championships. However, he was not satisfied with this and continued to grow.

Currently, he has become a regular fixture in Barcelona's first-team training and has been selected for three consecutive games (against Girona, Olympiakos and Real Madrid), but has yet to make his debut.

As a member of the 2007 generation, Espat grew up with Kubasi, Bernal and Yamal. He has shown great ability as an attacking full-back and has become an example of someone who can adapt to a variety of demands.

In his second youth team season, some even thought that he would not be able to get sustained opportunities in the club's midfield position, but he successfully transformed into an excellent right back. Strong body, excellent lower body strength (height 1.75 meters), and the ability to play the ball from the backcourt, which fits Barcelona's style. Espat is competing for a spot left vacant by Hector Forte's loan move to Elche.

In the Youth A team last season, he started 10 times in the European Youth League and performed well. He also made his debut for Atletico Barcelona, ​​playing a total of 7 times. This season, he is ready to contribute to the team. In the FIFA Continental Cup final in August, despite losing to Flamengo on penalties, he impressed at the Maracana Stadium, setting up Jan Vergili's equalizer. Today, he has established a foothold in the reserve team, playing 6 times in the Spanish Football League B, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist.

At the same time, he is still the main right back of the Youth A team coached by Bol Planas in the European Youth League. He scored 1 goal against Newcastle and another goal against Paris Saint-Germain. The assist came from Pedro Rodriguez. Espat joined Barcelona from UE Villa Saldema at the age of 8 and extended his contract until 2028 in August this year. His upward momentum is very strong.
