It would appear that the dependence of Barcelona on their youth continues to prevail. Even at the end of a miserable season by their standards, La Blaugrana remain true to their roots. New faces continue to emerge for Barcelona, bringing even more hope along with them.

With Dutch star Frenkie De Jong having suffered a major injury blow at the Santiago Bernabeu, Barcelona have lost one of their main stars in the midfield. To cover for him, Xavi Hernandez has decided to put his faith in a relatively obscure name from the quarry.

As highlighted by SPORT, Xavi has called upon the services of Brian Farinas, one of the main pearls of the Barcelona quarry, in his latest training session with the Barcelona first team. In the absence of both De Jong and even Sergi Roberto, Farinas has a chance to truly make his mark and impress Xavi.

Born in 2006, he is a player for the Juvenil A team of Blaugranes. However, with the talent that he possesses, it is no surprise that he has already appeared for Barça Atletic this season as well under the guidance and tutelage of Rafa Marquez.

Now, there is a great opportunity for him to showcase his talents to Xavi and potentially make his name be one of those which are called upon for the Valencia game up next. However, with the casualties already within the Barcelona squad, he has a real chance at this.

With the quality and talent that he possesses, he could become the next in line of a great plethora of Barcelona youngsters to make their mark this season. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and should he be called upon by Xavi to represent Barcelona, he will have to do so with the utmost commitment.
