So, Barcelona are a mess. They are out of the title race, out of the Copa del Rey, and facing a tricky tie in the Champions League. Their manager has resigned and will leave in June. Their best midfielder is out for the season. They could lose one of Europe's best defenders this summer due to crippling financial difficulties. What is actually going right for the Blaugrana?
Well, there is some hope. With the season slipping away, Xavi has turned to youth - and the kids are alright. Lamine Yamal is, of course, the headline name. But a young cast is starting to show promise - if only to give the new manager hope that there might just be something to work with here.
