Vinicius, Rodrygo and the young bet of Madrid: a step above Ansu Fati and Barça

[Dark]

The 'meninos' of Real Madrid enjoyed Santiago Bernabéu in the victory against Osasuna. Vinicius and Rodrygo shone with their own light. One claimed and the other debuted big. Only 19 and 18, respectively, and pulled the car of the thirteen-time European champion. It is clear that they still have a long way to go until they are consecrated stars, but they are on the right track. The one that Madrid has marked for them and the rest of the young promises that swell the white ranks.

The spotlights at this beginning of the season were going to another pearl of the future, the very young Ansu Fati. The canterano culé, with only 16 years, is impressing in his first minutes in the football elite with Barça. Vinicius and Rodrygo, the wonder children of Madrid, replied against Osasuna. One more battle between the two greats of Spanish football, in which age does matter.

Both teams have up to five players with 21 years or less in their squad for this season. Real Madrid has Éder Militao (21), Fede Valverde (21), Brahim Díaz (20), Vinicius Jr. (19) and Rodrygo Goes (18). Luka Jovic, who is 21, will turn 22 in December so he is out of this group. In Barça, the children of the class are Carles Pérez (21), Carles Aleñà (21), Moussa Wagué (turns 21 in October), Jean-Clair Todibo (turns 20 in December) and Ansu Fati (turns 17 in October) .

They are worth more and play more

Making a global comparison, Madrid wins in the two main values: market value and disputed minutes. Those in the white club are more expensive and play more with Zidane. Among the five sub21 of Madrid add a value of 197 million euros (Vinicius is the most expensive: 70 million) for 78 of the Catalans (Aleñà is the most expensive: 30 'kilos'). To this we must add that the presence of Madrid players is greater in the team having already played 628 minutes: Vinicius 290 ', Militao 210', Valverde 109 'and Rodrygo 19'. In Barça they add 593 minutes: Carles Pérez 317 ', Ansu Fati 231' and Aleñà 45 '. Brahim, Todibo and Wagué have not yet been able to debut.
