Over the years, there has been no discussion on who is the first youth training camp between La Macia and Rafabricca. But judging from the data and final results of last season, Barcelona's La Macia is indeed better in terms of contributions to the first team and in terms of cultivating core players.

Look at the data, Barcelona's first team has 15 students in their own youth training, and Yamal, Kubasi and Garvey are the absolute main players. They are not only making up the numbers, but also the cornerstone of the team's winning of the triple crown. In contrast, for Real Madrid, very few youth training players can get stable playing time in the first team. This reflects the most fundamental philosophical differences between the two clubs.

Barcelona's philosophy is "self-producing blood". They regard the youth training camp as the foundation of the team's life. The players they cultivate are first and foremost to provide the first team and inherit the club's tactical style and culture. Real Madrid's youth training is now more like a "talent investment factory". Cultivating excellent players is often to sell at a good price, and then use this money to buy already famous superstars in the market.

, we cannot say who is absolutely better than whom, and both have brought glory to their respective clubs. But Barcelona's success once again proves that firm trusting and using its own youth training under a healthy system can not only bring competitive success, but also help the club maintain strong competitiveness and unique cultural identity in difficult times.
