La Masia, a youth system in Spain's prestigious FC Barcelona, has revealed a Japanese genius who dreams of becoming the second Lionel Messi (currently Inter Miami). The Japanese soccer community was in excitement when Shinta Nishiyama (11) of Barcelona's U-12 team led the championship with a fantastic left-footed kick in Real Madrid and Mini El Clasico.

Japanese media 'Football Zone' reported on the 6th that "Nishiyama led his team's 1-0 victory and victory by assisting the winning goal against Real Madrid in the final of the World Youth Football Championship Mediterunion International Cup (MIC)."

The game is also known to have received tremendous attention in Spain. Spain's "Mundo Deportivo" even said, "The youth game between Barcelona and Real Madrid was simply crazy."

In the match, Nishiyama proved his talent in the 10th minute of the first half. Nishiyama, the corner kicker, connected a precise cross to Mark Rivera in front of the goal with a sharp left foot trajectory. Nishimiya's help led to the winning goal and gave Barcelona the trophy. In addition, the player who defended the opponent's goal was Martin Casillas, the son of legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

Real Madrid reportedly struggled, with Martin Casillas making several decisive saves, but lost without overturning Barcelona's winning goal, which began with Nishiyama's toes.

In response, "Mundo Deportivo" praised Barcelona's supernovae, including Nishimiya, saying, "Barcelona overpowered Real Madrid with a performance above the score difference."

Nishimiya is a Japanese special talent who joined La Masia in 2024. It is well known as an attack supernova resource that also receives great attention in Spain and Japan.

Japanese fans are enthusiastic about Nishiyama's performance, which goes beyond former Real Madrid youth Takefusa Kubo (now Real Sociedad), saying, "I want to see him play in the first team after growing up in the youth team like Ramin Yamal," and "The future of Japanese soccer is bright."

Barcelona's La Masia, the birthplace of promising players from around the world, is also very familiar to Korean soccer fans. Lee Seung-woo, Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham City), and Jang Gyeol-hee, who are currently active in Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League 1, have grown up in the Barcelona youth system in the past.

In particular, Lee Seung-woo swept the top scorer and MVP of various tournaments, being considered Messi's advent during his youth, and Baek Seung-ho also showed off his extraordinary talent by being called to first-team training based on his solid basic skills. Although Lee Seung-woo and Baek Seung-ho failed to settle for the first team in Barcelona due to FIFA's disciplinary action against violation of youth transfer regulations, they also proved their competitiveness on the professional stage, including playing for the South Korean national team.
