Riquelme, Monchu & Gutierrez... 3 academies of Atleti, Barca and Madrid

Published on: 08 April 2020

Spain's top clubs continue to churn out some of the best young talent in world football.

A recent study has highlighted one promising youngster from the academies of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid and analysed their skill sets.

Performance analysis firm Driblab has picked out Rodrigo Riquelme of Atleti, Monchu of Barcelona and Miguel Gutierrez of Los Blancos.

Rodrigo Riquelme - Atletico Madrid B

A promising young winger who Diego Simeone has already given minutes to this season in LaLiga Santander and the Copa del Rey.

His stats from this season show a player who is comfortable on the ball and adept at slipping passes through the lines.

However, he could improve his finishing as he often gets into good positions in the final third yet his shot conversion rate stands at just 10 percent.

Monchu - Barcelona B

A tidy centre-midfielder who circulates the ball proficiently, Monchu also possesses an excellent ability in one-on-one situations, with an 83 percent success rate.

Hailing from Palma in Majorca, he provides an above-average goal threat for someone in his position.

Neither does he give the ball away much, all of which has earned him a regular starting spot in the Barcelona B team of late.

Miguel Gutierrez - Real Madrid U19

The talented left-back is one of the club's biggest hopes.

Gutierrez has terrific defensive ability in one-on-one situations, where he wins 89 percent of his duels and rarely commits a foul.

Above all though he sticks out for his ability in the opposition half, where he completes on average 2.5 crosses a game, and generally possesses the ability of a winger in advanced zones.
