Orian Goren scores as Barcelona Juvenil B win Copa Catalunya
Orian Goren, 17, scored a long-range goal in the Copa Catalunya final as FC Barcelona Juvenil B beat Espanyol 4-1. The victory gave Barcelona Juvenil B the Copa Catalunya trophy.
Goren finished the season with two league goals and two UEFA Youth League goals. Coaches highlighted his technical ability and eagerness to improve. He regularly uses video analysis and individual training under Pol Planas' methodology. His off‑ball intelligence, often dropping deeper to aid attacks, mirrors Pedri's style.
Competition for midfield places in FC Barcelona Juvenil A has been intense, with Pedro Villar, Pedro Rodriguez, Dani Avila and Ebrima Tunkara also pushing for opportunities. Goren's performances earned praise from coaches.
Goren is expected to join the first‑team pre‑season training under Hansi Flick. The upcoming pre‑season could mark his first step toward senior football at FC Barcelona.
