The Barça dressing room reunites for a ´made in La Masia´ dinner

The meeting was a demonstration of the strong bond that unites players trained in the azulgrana academy, who took advantage of the absence of international commitments to enjoy a relaxed evening in the city.

A dinner with a blaugrana stamp

The six footballers, who were not called up by their respective national teams either due to technical decisions or injuries, gathered to spend a relaxed time among friends. It was a night of reunion where they shared laughter, memories, and the pride of belonging to the same football school. The image of this dinner perfectly represents the spirit of La Masia: an academy that not only trains top-level players but also cultivates friendships and values that last beyond the playing field.

Ilaix Moriba: a symbolic return

One of the protagonists of the meeting was Ilaix Moriba, who after leaving FC Barcelona in 2021 symbolically returned to his roots. Currently with RC Celta after his time at Leipzig and Valencia, the midfielder left the azulgrana club after rejecting a renewal that generated controversy among the culé fans. Despite the changes in his career, Ilaix´s presence at this dinner demonstrates that the bond with La Masia and his teammates remains intact. The player continues to seek to establish himself in elite football, keeping alive his dream of professional growth.

Ansu Fati, reborn in Monaco

The reunion also included Ansu Fati, who is experiencing a new chapter in his career at AS Monaco. The forward is rediscovering his best version in Ligue 1, regaining the confidence and continuity that injuries had taken from him during his recent time at Barça. With goals, assists, and leadership, Ansu is “killing it” in French football, reminding everyone of the young prodigy who amazed the world at just 16 years old. He has accumulated six goals in five matches and has been named Monaco´s player of the month for September.

Gavi and Balde, focused on their recovery

The dinner also had an emotional tone thanks to the presence of Gavi and Alejandro Balde, two footballers going through important recovery stages. Gavi continues with his demanding rehabilitation after the ACL tear suffered in 2023, while Balde is working to overcome his muscle discomfort and return to peak level. Both took advantage of the break to rest and strengthen their connection with their teammates.

Araujo and Héctor Fort completed the evening

The group was completed with the presence of Ronald Araujo, one of the captains of the Barça first team, and Héctor Fort, who is currently on loan at Elche. The dinner made it clear that, beyond the paths each one follows in their career, the bond of La Masia remains a point of unity among the footballers who grew up under the same shield and the same values.
