It’s official: Xavi Hernández will no longer be the head coach of FC Barcelona. Joan Laporta has decided that it is in the best interest of the club for the Catalan to step down from his position.

Xavi leaves after winning a La Liga title and a Supercopa de España. However, one of his greatest legacies is his trust in the young talents of the team, particularly those from La Masía.

Beyond giving confidence to young players like Pedri, Gavi, and Alejandro Balde, Xavi also provided opportunities to several other homegrown talents. These players not only got their chance under Xavi but also showcased their potential in the first team.

Among the most notable debuts is the young sensation Lamine Yamal, who secured a significant role in the starting lineup at just 16 years old. Pau Cubarsí, a young defender, became a defensive stalwart at 17. Fermín López took advantage of injuries in the midfield to earn his place in the first team.

Here is the complete list of La Masía graduates who debuted in the first team under Xavi, himself a former academy player:

• Ilias Akhomach

• Ferran Jutglà

• Álvaro Sanz

• Estanis Pedrola

• Mika Mármol

• Iñaki Peña

• Marc Casadó

• Chadi Riad

• Ángel Alarcón

• Aleix Garrido

• Lamine Yamal

• Fermín López

• Marc Guiu

• Héctor Fort

• Pau Cubarsí
