The results were always false in grassroots football, a stage in which players form their character. There are all kinds of opinions. Coaches who consider that victories are a sign that things are going well, others that they are anecdotal because the important thing is to have good footballers and not good teams that win titles. In the midst of this eternal debate, Espanyol’s academy will not stand out this season for filling its showcases, it is a tin base football, and it is 96 points behind Barça (with three games less) adding the points between the teams that compete in the same category.
Apart from the subsidiary, which is fighting for promotion to the First RFEF but whose structure is attached to the day-to-day of the first team, the next in the ranking is Juvenil A, currently second after its defeat against Damm, ten points behind Barcelona. Things are the same for Juvenil B in the always complicated National Leaguetaking into account that the Blue and Whites compete with mainly first-year players (there are three in this category): eighth, 13 points behind the first classified.
