New signing Dani Olmo celebrated his Barcelona debut with a brilliant goal to seal a 2-1 comeback victory at Rayo Vallecano in La Liga 2024 on Wednesday. Barca were unable to register Olmo in La Liga after signing him from RB Leipzig but they did it before the game. He made an instant impact after being brought on at Rayo’s Vallecas stadium. Olmo also hit the crossbar once before scoring the goal. The Spanish playmaker’s 82nd-minute strike helped Barcelona claim their third win from three matches under new coach Hansi Flick.

La Liga 2024: Pedri -sportzpoint.com

Pedri scored from a beautiful first-time shot off Raphinha's cross in the 60th minute to level the scoreline. Robert Lewandowski scored but his goal was disallowed due to Kounde's foul on a Rayo player in the buildup. The winning goal arrived late in the 82nd minute. The debutant pulls off a great left-footed finish from Lamine Yamal's pass.

“Since I arrived, looking forward to the first game, the debut, and what a better way to start,” Olmo told DAZN. “I was really looking forward to it, I felt physically ready to play, and it finally happened today. I am very happy to have made my debut and helped the team,” he added.

“I’m always a player who looks to score, Lamine found me well and I finished well, a good goal, I’m very happy,” Olmo further added. Barca are at the top of the table after the third round of matches, despite various injury issues affecting important players. Marc Bernal is the latest one to get registered on that list.

The 17-year-old defensive midfielder Marc Bernal was taken off after twisting his knee and it's not looking good for the youngster, who has impressed at the start of the season.

“It’s a sad victory because Marc Bernal is injured and it looks not so good,” said the German tactician. “We have to wait until tomorrow to wait and see how heavy it is. We win, it’s OK but when you see the dressing room nobody is happy.”

Bernal has started all three of Barcelona’s games this season and Flick will be hoping that he gets back the young lad early.

The most Valuable U21 Football Players in 2024

A remarkable crop of young talent continues to grace the football world in 2024, with under-21 players attracting enormous attention and high prices. In addition to being the sport's future, these up-and-coming talents are already having a big influence on their teams and the global scene. 

These U21 players are not only influencing the success of their clubs but also changing the economics of contemporary football as transfer markets soar to previously unheard-of heights. Let's take a look at the players leading the list.

Unsurprisingly, the Barcelona winger tops the list, thanks to his remarkable achievements in 2024, including becoming one of the youngest players to score and win the Euros.

His contributions at club level this season have been equally outstanding. From decisive goals to maintaining relentless attacking pressure, Yamal has embraced responsibilities on the pitch that are rare for someone his age.

With the growing demand for top-quality players in his position, his market value is set to rise even further. Should Barcelona decide to part ways with him, they would undoubtedly hold a commanding position in negotiations.

Under Erik Ten Hag's leadership at Manchester United, this young Argentine has emerged as a rising star. While he lacks major silverware compared to Yamal, his impact at United has been significant, particularly when the team struggled in attack and goals were hard to come by.

The player has shown notable improvement across various facets of his game, including dribbling, shooting accuracy, and teamwork, making him an exciting talent to watch. However, I believe his valuation might be inflated—although playing for one of football’s most iconic clubs naturally amplifies his market appeal.

Warren Zaire- Emery- €109M

It’s still surprising that clubs didn’t aggressively pursue this young talent during the summer transfer window, perhaps due to lingering doubts about his potential. This season, however, he has firmly established himself as a key figure in PSG’s midfield, forming an impressive partnership with Fabian Ruiz.

Should PSG clinch the Ligue 1 title dominantly and make significant progress in the Champions League, the player is likely to attract more interest from top clubs, with his market value expected to soar.

Savinho- €101M

Football analysts have given Brazilian winger Savinho a lot of credit for his flair, and versatility.  Pep Guardiola was impressed by his performance during his time with Girona, as he produced 11 goals and 10 assists in the 2023–2024 campaign and this led to Manchester City signing him in the summer of this year.

Guardiola called him "devastating in one-on-one situations" and emphasized his ability to make accurate crosses and generate a potent attacking situation

Savinho has the potential to be a prominent figure in the Premier League as well as for City if he keeps improving. He is a player to keep an eye on this season because of his explosive playstyle and room for improvement.

Joao Neves - Sportz Point.com

One of Europe's most promising young players is João Neves, a Portuguese midfielder who made a high-profile move to PSG earlier this year for an estimated €60 million (with add-ons). He is a sought-after asset because of his performances at Benfica and his innate ability to direct play. 

Neves is well known for his technical abilities, which include accurate passing and deftly avoiding pressure. His pressing style demonstrates a relentless, high-intensity strategy for regaining possession. 

Given his current trajectory, João Neves' market value is likely to rise as he continues to impress in one of Europe's most competitive leagues.

Robert Lewandowski has been reunited with manager Hansi Flick in FC Barcelona this season and since the start of the 2024-25 season, the veteran Polish forward has been in scintillating form having scored 19 goals in 16 matches across all competitions this season.

Lewandowski was the most important piece of puzzle for Flick's class of 2019-20 in Bayern Munich when the duo won the historic Sextuple in the 2019-20 season at Bayern Munich. Bayern became only the second team in history to achieve the honour of winning the Sextuple after FC Barcelona's iconic 2008-09 season.

Robert Lewandowski became the highest goalscorer in the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, and the DFB Pokal Cup in the 2019-20 season under the managerial radar of Hansi Flick. The Polish goal-machine played 71 games for the German club under Hansi Flick and he had a staggering 83 goals by his name across all competitions.

However, the German coach left Bayern in 2021 and Lewandowski moved to Barcelona in 2022. But after 3 years, the feared duo is reunited in FC Barcelona as Hansi Flick was appointed as Barca's head coach in July 2024. Now their paths have crossed again and Flick unleashed the beast in Lewandowski again and he is flying high in Spain and across the continent as well.

Lewandowski, the man who is the leading goalscorer at this moment in the top five European leagues this season, has also praised the German coach saying he is "working wonders" in FC Barcelona.

"What Hansi Flick is doing is incredible, not only with me, with everyone"

"Every player feels comfortable with Hansi Flick, we showed that today. We understand each other, even without words."
