La Masia Dream Team: Barcelona field an all-homegrown side for the first time... but how do the English teams compare?

For the first time, Barca fielded an entirely homegrown eleven for much of the match at Levante, so this was as much a triumph for the club’s fabled La Masia academy as anything else.

The historic moment came in the 14th minute when the only outsider, Dani Alves, went off injured and was replaced by Martin Montoya.

Take a look at the homegrown talent on display in last weekend's Premier League clashes. Most teams had only one or two on the pitch.

 

Manchester United and Newcastle led the charge with four each, while seven teams, including Chelsea and Manchester City, failed to turn out a single academy player.

 

None came close to rivalling the full house that Barca bred from its own esteemed training facility.
